Abstract: In a dishwasher wetting agent dispenser mounted in the door of a front-loading type dishwasher, a tiltable bucket within the dispenser pours a measured amount of fluid into a charge-discharge structure from which it flows by gravity into the washing chamber of the dishwasher. The components of the dispenser are arranged so that the dispenser will not leak when the dishwasher door is in its normal positions; including a break-away position if the door is on a dishwasher which permits such a position. The dispenser provides an air lock feature which prevents overfilling of the dispenser reservoir. A mounting arrangement of the dispenser to the door assures proper orientation therebetween. Also, a translucent rod may be attached to the dispenser to indicate when the dispenser reservoir requires filling.
