A cleanser feeding mechanism has a cleanser housing portion, a cleanser feeding member for feeding a cleanser housed in the cleanser housing portion, and a synchronous motor for applying a drive force to the cleanser feeding member, and feeds and amount of cleanser corresponding to the number of revolutions of the synchronous motor. A cleanser feeding amount-setting unit sets an amount of cleanser to be fed from the cleanser feeding mechanism. A driving unit applies an AC source voltage of an AC power source to the synchronous motor. A counter counts the number of cycles of the AC source voltage from a timing at which the AC source voltage is applied to the synchronous motor. A reference cycle number-setting unit sets a total cycle number of the AC source voltage which corresponds to a cleanser amount set by the cleanser feeding amount-setting unit. A motor controller compares a count output from the counter with a total cycle number from the reference cycle number-setting unit and stops application of the AC source voltage to the synchronous motor when the count output and the total cycle number coincide with each other.

An automatic detergent dispenser apparatus comprising: cleanser feeding means, having a cleanser housing portion for storing a cleanser therein, a cleanser feeding member for feeding said cleanser stored in said cleanser housing portion, and a synchronous motor for driving said cleanser feeding member for feeding an amount of cleanser corresponding to a number of revolutions of said synchronous motor; cleanser feeding amount-setting means for setting a target amount of cleanser desired to be fed from said cleanser feeding means; driving means for selectively applying an AC source voltage from an AC power source to said synchronous motor; frequency determining means for determining a frequency of the AC source voltage; counting means for counting a number of cycles of the AC source voltage beginning at a time when the AC source voltage is first applied to said synchronous motor; driving time-setting means receiving said target amount of cleanser, for setting a driving time corresponding to said target amount in units of frequencies of the AC source voltage; reference cycle number-setting means for setting a total number of cycles of the AC source voltage which corresponds to the driving time set by said driving time setting means, in units of frequencies of the AC source voltage; and motor control means for comparing a count output from said counting means with the total cycle number from said reference cycle number-setting means which corresponds to a determination result from said frequency determining means and for controlling said driving means to stop application of the AC source voltage to said synchronous motor when the count and the total cycle number coincide with each other.
