    I recently did similar at our house, but installed a GFCI in the adjacent cabinet, which I think is current code. And for anyone watching, patch the holes in the drywall. If a "critter" gets in the wall, it's a point of entry into the house.

    NOT CODE. Needs to be in an adjacent cabinet, period

      Does the Romex run need to NOT be behind the DW also, i.e. do you need to move the Romex penetration into the adjacent cabinet also to keep the Romex entirely out of the DW cavity? Or can you keep the existing penetration and just move the termination to the adjacent cabinet?

    • @imdeplorable2241

      Yup. As I understand it, the receptacle needs to be in the adjacent cabinet. So, you need to cut that box into the wall under the sink or SURFACE mounted in that space. Then, you need to cut or holesaw a hole in the cabinet to feed the plug through.
      The funny thing is, that IS NOT REQUIRED for a range receptacle. WTF?

    Im a first year electrician for resi and commercial I fucken love this trade bro changed my life Fr. I used to work boring 9-5 till I found this that kept me on my toes and allowed me to create and use my brain to install equipment neatly and up to code I love it. Nice work!
    The only thing I would’ve done differently is laid a tarp just to keep from scratching the floor and a cordless vaccum on hand for these small installs.

    I had 1 white wire and 1 black plus the copper wire.

    Square D came out with a new line of outlets and switches called the “X series” the text on the back says #14 wire only but the #12 fits right into the backstab holes no joke. I think it’s a manufacturing defect but home builders love it because you can break the rules and use #12 wire with backstab lol 😂.

    We got a dishwasher for the old one was not working for several years. Home depot paid for installation they couldn’t install it. They said we needed a master plumber. Master plumber came out and said we needed a master Electrician. For the old one has house wires and garbage disposal without outlets they just ran the wire through for the old dishwasher was acting a a circuit. Home depot problems with getting money back. Plumber charged to come out. Electrician charges a come out fee. Now broke from paying and still dishwasher in kitchen. Looking for someone who can run wire and dishwasher on youtube.

    • @simplewick350
      @simplewick350 Рік тому +2

      @Sam Andrew Typically if the dishwasher is adjacent to a sink then the receptacle is installed in the under sink cabinet. Then you drill a hole towards the back of the cabinet into the bay designated for your dishwaher and route your cord and water line through that.
      As to why it's not allowed, I'm not totally sure but it might be something to do with accessibility to the outlet or like you said, to be able to plug and unplug it.
