Depends on the DW and model. Most come with their own panel that attaches at the bottom. I believe custom panel models are different.

You CAN put toekick under the DW, but you need to have the installer cut it so it can pop off for DW servicing. Normally, installers don't do this....you have to ask.

I had a toe kick made by my cabinet maker on my panelled dw. it was attached by 2 small screws that were barely visible but easily accessible so that it could be removed if needed. if you are having custom panels you should have a custom toe kick.

My DW came with a toekick panel. My contractor thought it was ugly so he had one of his guys paint it to go with the toekick tiles.

We made our own toe kick panel and used velcro so we can take it off when needed.

Mine was initially left without - just piece of black metal down there. I asked the carpenter who was doing the cabinet installation about it and he made a piece for it and attached with velcro. He had to adjust it slightly after installation because the door kind of hit the toe kick piece when you opened the DW and dislodged it a bit. Once that was done it's been fine and in place for nearly five years now.

We have toe kick skin below our paneled dishwasher. I requested it from our cabinetmaker. He used magnets to attach it so that it can be removed for servicing.

We have a toe kick under our built-in DW, but because we have an Ikea kitchen, the entire toe kick can snap off for service or cleaning, so the toe kick runs the entire length of the wall it's on.
