In an automatic washing, a wash additive dispenser is disposed in a tub, and a drive mechanism is provided for selectively rotating the dispenser at a firs t angular speed and a second, greater angular speed. The wash additive fluid dispenser may be mounted on an agitator. The dispenser includes first passages for permitting liquid flow from the dispenser into the tub when the dispenser is rotated at least as fast the first angular speed, and second passages for permitting liquid flow from the dispenser into the tub when the dispenser is rotated as least as fast as the second angular speed. The dispensing cup can include a frustoconical portion having a sidewall diverging upwardly and terminating in a radially outwardly-extending toroida l portion disposed at the upper end of the frustoconical portion. A method of dispensi ng wash additive fluid is disclosed which includes the steps of retaining wash additive fluid in the dispenser during agitation, and centrifugally dispensing wash additive fluid into the tub from dispensing passages in the dispenser wall during at least one spin cycl e. The method may include the substeps of centrifugally dispensing a first portion of wash additive fluid into the tub during a first spin cycle, and centrifugally dispensing a second portion of wash additive fluidinto the tub during a second spin cycle .
