Laundry washing machine comprising an outer casing , a washing tub which is arranged inside the casing with its opening or mouth directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized on a the front wall of the casing , a detergent dispensing assembly which is structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub, a fresh-water supply circuit which is structured for being connected to the water mains and for selectively channelling a flow of fresh water from the water mains to the detergent dispensing assembly and/or to the washing tub, and an appliance control panel which is structured for allowing the user to manually select the desired washing-cycle and is located on the front wall of the casing ; the detergent dispensing assembly including a single-dose detergent dispenser which is structured for selectively feeding into the washing tub a manually pre-loaded amount of detergent, softener and/or other washing agent sufficient for performing only a single washing cycle, and which comprises a detergent drawer which is manually fillable with a quantity of detergent, softener and/or other washing agent sufficient for performing a single washing cycle, and which is fitted/inserted in manually extractable manner into a corresponding drawer housing which extends inside the casing underneath the upper worktop or top wall of the casing , and communicates with the outside via a front entrance or opening which is realized on the front wall of the casing above the laundry loading/unloading opening; the laundry washing machine being characterized in that the appliance control panel is located/arranged on a front side of a drawer-like supporting structure which is fitted/inserted in extractable manner into a corresponding drawer housing which extends inside the casing underneath the upper worktop or top wall of the casing , and communicates with the outside via a front entrance or opening which is realized on the front wall of the casing above the laundry loading/unloading opening and horizontally beside the front entrance or opening of the drawer housing of said detergent drawer ; in that said drawer-like supporting structure is movable inside the drawer housing between a retracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure is completely recessed inside the casing and the appliance control panel is arranged substantially coplanar to the front wall of the casing , and a completely extracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure partly juts out from the front wall of the casing so as arrange the appliance control panel forward spaced apart from the front wall of the casing ; and in that it additionally comprises: a push member which is able to elastically push the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position and towards the extracted position; a locking mechanism which is structured to hold the drawer-like supporting structure in the retracted position and to prevent the push member from pushing the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position; and a manually-operated command device which is structured so as to force, when manually operated, the locking mechanism to release the drawer-like supporting structure , thus allowing the push member to push the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position. <EOS>
