EIDW1805KS
Electrolux IQ-Touch EIDW1805KS 18-Inch Dishwasher Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Water that is not getting hot enough for a good wash
- Fill that is slow where pressure is low
- Cycle that stops when the unit overheats
- Narrow tub that clogs and drains slowly
The EIDW1805KS is an 18-inch built-in dishwasher with IQ-Touch controls. At that width it is usually installed in a small kitchen, a condo or a second sink area. It has a heater rated at 475 to 630 watts and a hi-limit thermostat set at 200 degrees F, and it works with water pressure from 20 to 120 psi, with 120 degree inlet water recommended. Electrolux has discontinued it.
Those figures guide our checks. If dishes come out dirty or greasy, we confirm the water arriving is hot and the inlet is not restricted, then test the heater and the thermostat. If a cycle stops or does not finish, the hi-limit thermostat is something we measure instead of guessing. Slow draining in a narrow tub often means a packed filter.
We take the model and serial from the label before ordering parts, since 18-inch units are not interchangeable with 24-inch ones. You get a written price first, and repairs are backed for 30 days.

Why does my 18-inch dishwasher leave grease on dishes?
Water that is not hot enough or a heater that is not working is a common cause on the EIDW1805KS. We check inlet temperature, then test the heater and thermostat.
What does the hi-limit thermostat do?
It protects the dishwasher from overheating by interrupting heat above a set temperature, which is 200 degrees F on this model. If a cycle stops early, we test it to see whether it is opening correctly.
Is water pressure a concern for this dishwasher?
It works with 20 to 120 psi, so very low pressure can slow the fill. We check the supply valve and inlet screen if the tub does not fill properly.
