18 in. Front Control Built-In Tall Tub 52 dBA Dishwasher in Stainless Steel with 6-Cycles

Hi Mtgb! Thank you for reaching out. The Frigidaire 18 in. White Front Control Built-In Tall Tub Dishwasher (Model FFBD1831UW) accommodates standard dinner plates up to roughly 9.5 to 10 inches in diameter on the lower rack, but deep or oversized bowls and plates greater than 10 inches may struggle to fit properly. We hope this helps! - Patrick

Hi mitch, thank you for your question. The Frigidaire 18-inch built-in dishwasher Model # FFBD1831US has an overall depth of 24 inches. If you're measuring just the dishwasher cabinet (excluding the door clearance when installed), the cabinet depth is approximately 23 inches, and the depth with the door fully open is 45 1/2 inches. — Reed

Hi kasia! Thank you for checking with us. The minimum installed height required for the Frigidaire 18 in. Black Front Control Built-In Dishwasher (Model FFBD1831UB) is 32 1/2 inches (or 32.5 inches). This minimum height allows the dishwasher to fit properly into your cabinet space. You can adjust the built-in leveling legs to raise the unit up to a maximum height of 35 1/4 inches to match your exact counter level. We hope this answers your question. - Patrick

Hi nsus! Thank you for checking with us. Yes, the overall height of the Frigidaire FFBD1831US dishwasher is adjustable. The unit features 4 adjustable leveling legs that allow you to modify the installed height between 32.5 inches (minimum) and 35.25 inches (maximum) to perfectly fit beneath your kitchen counter. We hope this helps! - Patrick

Hi Amperage! Thank you for reaching out. The Frigidaire model FFBD1831US dishwasher draws 8.5 amps at 120 V to operate. We hope this helps! - Patrick

Hello there, the two numbers are referring to different measurements. For the Frigidaire 18" built-in dishwasher (model series FFBD1831), the actual dishwasher cabinet depth is about 22.5–23 inches, while the installed depth is listed as 24 inches because that includes the door/front clearance needed to fit flush with standard cabinetry. - 22.5–23 in. = actual body/cabinet depth of the dishwasher - 24 in. = overall installed depth / standard counter-depth fit Most retailers round the installed depth to 24" because it is designed for a standard 24" dishwasher opening. If you are checking fit: - Plan for a 24" deep opening - But the machine body itself sits slightly shallower than that. - Maico

Good day, Larry! The Frigidaire manual/official installation specifications for the 18 in. Front Control Built‑In Tall Tub Dishwasher (the Frigidaire 18″ built‑in dishwasher model, e.g., FFBD1831 series): - Width: ~18 inches (actual unit width) - Height: Adjustable, typically 32 ½ in to 35 ¼ in, depending on leveling legs and adjustment. - Cut‑Out / Rough Opening Specs: Many spec sheets show a cut‑out width of ~17 ⅝ in plus and a cut‑out height of at least ~35 ¼ in minimum for proper installation. The cabinet opening width must be at least 17 ⅝ in or wider to slide the dishwasher in, and the actual unit is 18 in wide. The height inside the cabinet needs to be tall enough for the dishwasher at its shortest adjustable configuration and also sized to allow leveling/shimming. The manual/spec sheet expects about 35 in minimum height clearance, because although the dishwasher’s minimum assembled height is around 32 ½ in, the installation instructions require clearance above that and space to adjust the legs to level the unit. It will not fit properly. - Even though the body of the dishwasher (18″ wide) nominally fits a 17 ⅝″ cut‑out once it’s in place (dishwashers are designed to slide in), the installation guide still lists the minimum cabinet width as about 18″ or nominally equal to the dishwasher width, so 17 ⅝″ is too narrow without trimming or modifying the opening. - Most importantly, the minimum cabinet height recommended in the manual for installation is higher than 33″ installers typically expect 33 ½″ to 35 ¼″ minimum height, so the unit will slide underneath the countertop and be leveled properly. Because of that, even if you could squeeze the unit in horizontally, the vertical cabinet opening at 33″ is below the minimum recommended installation height range for this dishwasher according to the official Frigidaire specifications and manual. - Maico

Thank you for your question regarding the 18 in. Black Front Control Built‑In Tall Tub Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub (52 dBA). When installing a built‑in dishwasher, some parts are typically included with the unit, such as the drain hose and basic mounting hardware. - Jessica
