dishwasher plug in
Interesting that someone mentioned this. Just finishing up(well almost) building a new house. In the kitchen where the dishwashers are going, the electrician put in an electrical outlet for the dishwashers and garbage disposal, I asked what they were for and he said it was code now. So in all of my whit and wisdom, I said won't it be hard to unplug it if there is a problem? He motioned my eyes to the wall above the counter and said thats what these 3 switches are for, one for each diswasher and one for the garbage disposal, so I guess this is how it is now in new construction. The dishwasher in my present house is hard wired with no shutoff, besides the circuit breaker. Garbage disposal is hard wired to a switch under the sink cabinet. Come to think of it the new garage door opener has a plug on it. The old one was hard wired, so I guess the installer put an outlet there for the new one. Central vac same thing has plug for it and another for the accessories. Hmmm me sees a pattern here.... Anyone else have some newer things in their homes that are now plug in versus previously hardwired?
