I need help with dishwasher installation...?

Question

This is going to be a new installation. My question is.. does the dishwasher have to be installed directly next to the sink? I do not have room directly next to the sink because my counters are at 90degree angles on both sides of the sink. I have one cabinet right under the sink, then the counters curve. I don't want to have to replace counter tops and cabinets so would it be possible to place the new dishwasher close to the sink, but not directly next to it? Also, about how much does professional installation cost?

Answer 1

We bought our 1st one from Home Depot and installation was around $50-$75  then I decided I wanted a different color appliances and we intalled the second and it was so easy to do ,.. it does not need to be right next to the sink but you will have to run the pluming to it which will be the hard part.. you may want to call some plumbers and ask for quotes on doing this part as I don't think that store installlation will include the plumbing

Answer 2

A dishwasher can be placed away from the sink.  They're usually there for the convenience of loading and for the pipe connections.

A plumber will have no problem placing the dishwasher around the corner, as long as they can route the drain pipe to the sink drain.

An electrician will be needed to run a new 20 amp circuit to it also.

Answer 3

The dishwasher can go anywhere you want. They are typically placed next to the sink for convenience -- because you prerinse the dishes in the sink and then place them in the dishwasher.

You might have to pay a little more because it's going to be slightly more difficult for the plumber to run the water lines farther away, but it shouldn't be a huge difference in price.

I couldn't tell ya how much installation costs, because I have no idea where you live, and that makes a huge difference. :)

Good luck!
