Dispenser rinse system and method for a drawer-type dishwasher

A drawer-type dishwasher includes a tub (16) having front, rear, bottom and opposing side walls that collectively define a washing chamber and a lid (90) shiftably mounted relative to the tub for selectively closing the washing chamber. A dispenser (49) is mounted to one of the front, rear and opposing side walls and includes a detergent storage portion that is selectively exposed to release detergent into the washing chamber. The lid (90) includes a dispenser rinse system (110) having an inlet portion and an outlet portion, with the outlet portion guiding a flow of water from the lid onto the dispenser to wash out the detergent storage portion and fill the washing chamber. The outlet portion is preferably provided with a shaped contour and a wall that ensures that the all detergent is washed out from the dispenser.
