I wasn't sure where to post this one, since it relates to an Ebay auction (and so should be in the 'Shoppers Square' forum), but I'm more curious to see if anyone is familiar with the item and knows how it works. It is a detergent dispenser for a Hotpoint washing machine. Appears to fit over the agitator, but then what? Was water pumped into the dish? There are no perforations in the dish so if water went in, how did it get out? Has anyone seen one of these before?

As I recall from somewhere, the fill stream sprays onto the dispenser.

we had this in our 61' hotpoint. As the washer was filling the water flowed into this and overflowed this tray!

So only the rinse fill sprayed into it? How did the wash fill work?

Never mind. I just read the raised lettering. Detergent dispenser, I get it now!

Hey, that's my Hotpoint when Robert first brought it down in 2000!

Here's a video of the dispenser during spray rinse. It slings water all over the place -

This machine is one of my favorites in Greg's line up. I enjoy it's vigorous agitation and marvel at how quiet it is in person. Its fun to trade off with the newer ramped agitator as well. My aunt had the 59 version of this machine with a red plastic and metal lined lint filter that rested in notches on the top of the agitator vanes under water and then the dispenser rested on top

How many agitator versions were in these Hotpoints, especially the Silhouette models? I have no idea what our 64 model had since I was too young to remember it.

Dispenser

I have always wanted to see this dispenser in action. Does the water flow for long enough to dissolve the detergen or is it continuous flow?

I like the way it sprinkle water for the spin rinse, I used to do that occasionally with an hose when I had the fill valve filter clogged in my FF, I just put the hose on top of FF pan and it would sprinkle water through all the load in the basket even if the pan do have holes...it worked greatly, a great way for spin rinse, I think it was developped mostly for this purpose than dispensing detergent (which is a thing that you can forbear)....

The water flows into the dispenser tray through all of the fill, spray rinse and overflow rinse portions of the cycle.
