| I just replaced my built in 24” 10 year old dishwasher with a new one. The old dishwasher was powered through a power cord plugged into a receptacle under the kitchen sink, so I kept that setup. My question is: Can I, should I, affix the power cord to the wall inside the cabinet? It seems like it would be better if the cord is elevated. I guess, same for the garbage disposal cord which is also plugged into the same receptacle? Any advice appreciated. |

| Yep, those are are one of the ones I was thinking about as well. There's also some stick on things that hold wire ties or even 3M/Command makes some cord holders that don't even require making a hole. |

| There is usually plenty of room under the DW. Just shove the excess cord there. |

| The NEC limits the permissible length of such cords. so the excess length will be minimal. |

| "The NEC limits the permissible length of such cords. so the excess length will be minimal." The length is long enough to allow the appliance to be pulled out from under the counter for servicing while still connected to power. |
