FWIW, "dishwater" and "ditchwater" get about the same number of hits,
each getting about many more than "dishwasher," like approx. 65K each
vs. 1.2K.

IME, there's only "dishwater." So, for me, ditch- and -washer are the eggcorns.

Of course, my experience in this area is somewhat limited, unsurprisingly.
