BACKGROUND

Laundry treating appliances, such as clothes washers, clothes dryers, refreshers, and non-aqueous systems, can have a configuration based on a rotating drum that defines a treating chamber having an access opening through which laundry items are placed in the treating chamber for treating. The laundry treating appliance can have a controller that implements a number of pre-programmed cycles of operation having one or more operating parameters.

In some laundry treating appliances, the dispenser is in the form of a cup mounted on the surface of the cabinet. Such dispensers typically have at least one cup that defines a pour zone for a specific treating chemistry or dispensing functions such as a single use or bulk dispenser. It will be desirable for a washing machine to use minimal surface space as pour zones for various types of treating chemistry and dispensing functions.

BRIEF SUMMARY

In one aspect the disclosure relates to a method of supplying treating chemistry to multiple destinations in a laundry treating appliance, the method comprising selectively moving a selector compartment to fluidly couple an outlet of the selector compartment to one of multiple conduits, each of the multiple conduits supplying a different destination, to fluidly couple the selector compartment to the corresponding one of the different destinations.

In another aspect the disclosure relates to a method of supplying treating chemistry to at least a treating chamber or at least one bulk reservoir of a laundry treating appliance, the method comprising: selectively moving a selector compartment defining a cup between a first position, where the cup is fluid coupled with the treating chamber and a second position where the cup is fluid coupled with the at least one bulk reservoir, whereby depending on the position of the cup liquid treating chemistry in the cup will flow into the treating chamber or the bulk reservoir.

In yet another aspect, the invention relates to a method of supplying treating chemistry to multiple destinations in a laundry treating appliance, the method comprising selectively moving a selector compartment to fluidly couple an outlet of the selector compartment to one of multiple conduits, each of the multiple conduits supplying a different destination, with one of the destinations being a treating chamber and another of the destinations being a bulk reservoir.
