A dishwasher includes an auxiliary dispenser assembly used in conjunction with an auxiliary spray unit, preferably to create an intensified wash zone in the washing chamber. The dispenser assembly includes a container partitioned into a prefill chamber and an additive chamber. A washing fluid inlet leads into the prefill chamber, which is also provided with a calibrated drain hole. During at least one stage of a washing operation, a portion of the washing fluid delivered to the auxiliary spray unit is diverted and forced to flow into the prefill chamber, fill the prefill chamber, overflow into the additive chamber and exit the dispenser assembly with additional washing agent. During other stages or between stages, any washing fluid entering the inlet is directed out the drain hole so as to not reach the additive chamber.
