Not sure how much attention this will get with all these "Babe" threads going, but...
Never have understood, why do they put up wall switches for dishwashers, which basically switches the electrical outlet they are plugged in to. What’s the point of this? In an emergency, like if it’s overflowing or something, you can just unlatch the door and shut the thing off. With installation, you unplug the power cable from the wall and make your connections. I can’t say in over 25 years that I’ve ever used the DW switch for anything.
The reason I’m asking is I want to install under-cabinet lighting in our kitchen and utilize the DW switch for the them. Disconnecting the DW power leads from the switch I could wire-nut them together, giving the DW outlet unswitched power, and the switch would be available for the lights.
Any good reason not to do this?
