Question:
Are dishwashers required to have a disconnect at the dishwasher besides the C/B?
Ted Kohne
A
Answer:
Hey Ted thanks for your question. Not always. The rules are in 422.31, 422.33, and 422.34 and they vary based on how it is connected. If it is cord and plug connected the attachment plug can serve as the disconnecting means if accessible as stated in 422.33(A). A unit switch with a marked - off position is allowed as stated in 422.31(C) Exception.
