You may be wondering what type of power cord you need. Are dishwasher power cords universal, or are they model-specific? Should you hardwire your new appliance instead? Always check the installation guide for your specific model to see what the manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations are. This guide covers everything you need to know about dishwasher electrical hookups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need any replacement parts for your appliance, you can enter your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">model number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to order them. Most orders arrive in just two business days, and we have thousands of free guides to show you how to install your new parts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. We recommend consulting your manufacturer&#8217;s documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"> <b>contact us<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dishwasher electrical requirements<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern dishwashers are high-powered appliances that require a dedicated electrical circuit. Most models run on 120 volts and draw 1500-1800 watts while operating. For safety and performance, dishwashers should be on a 20 amp grounded circuit with GFCI protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an extension cord is never recommended due to potential overheating hazards. The power cord or wiring should be sized appropriately for the dishwasher&#8217;s amperage rating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Watch: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Rp2JL9-rZJo?list=PLKhohqC7zc-QkGBN5qK7KxAicMke_efdI\"><b>How to install a dishwasher<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are dishwasher power cords universal?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike a television or laptop, dishwasher power cords are not universal. Appliance power cords are carefully matched to the specific electric requirements of the dishwasher model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cords are designed to safely deliver the correct voltage and amperage. They also have water-resistant insulation to protect against leaks. Using the wrong power cord could lead to shock, fire, or equipment damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When purchasing a replacement cord, always consult the manufacturer and model information to make sure you get the proper cord for your dishwasher. Never try to use a generic or mismatched cord. You can take your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">model number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to locate the correct one for your model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you hardwire the dishwasher?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some home improvement experts recommend hardwiring a dishwasher directly to the electrical system instead of using a plug-in cord. Hardwiring involves connecting the dishwasher wires directly to the terminal block.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential benefits of hardwiring:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminates cord visibility for a streamlined look<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provides a more permanent connection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removes the tripping hazard of a bulky cord<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May conform better to building codes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downsides of hardwiring:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More complex installation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannot unplug during service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requires shutting off circuit breaker to disconnect<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If hardwiring, use 10 or 12-gauge NM cable with ground wire. While this is something a DIYer can do if you have any doubts about working with the home electrical system, contact an electrician or an installer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a plug-in power cord<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many homeowners prefer the simplicity of using a plug-in power cord. This method allows easy connecting and disconnecting of the dishwasher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these tips for a safe plug-in installation:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm the outlet is grounded and is on a dedicated 20 amp GFCI circuit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directly insert the dishwasher plug into the wall outlet. Never use an extension cord.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check that the power cord is the correct rating and type for the dishwasher model.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect the plug prongs and cord for any damage before inserting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Position the cord to avoid pinching or heat damage from the dishwasher or walls.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing a dishwasher&#8217;s power cord<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, a dishwasher&#8217;s power cord can become damaged from heat, water exposure, or pinching. If the cord needs replacement, use only a new cord meeting the dishwasher&#8217;s specifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the steps below to safely change out a dishwasher cord:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unplug the appliance and turn off the power supply.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the cover plate and detach the old cord wires.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thread the new cord through strain relief and connect wires.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm ground wire connects to the grounding screw or terminal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reattach the cover plate. Check for secure wire connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug in the dishwasher and verify proper operation before sliding into the cabinet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for reading!
