Bushing for dishwasher power cord???

[Fred B]

How about requiring a bushing or grommet when romex passes through a hole in a wood stud...
How about when the cord for a microwave passes through the bottom of a cabinet above it to the receptacle inside...

Inquiring minds want to know why they always pick in dishwashers.

I think issue is the appliance installers that are usually untrained as to code and electrical installation safety. So the electrician by reason of code been forced to make sure future installation and changes can be done safely by the untrained installer or homeowner.

AFA the microwave, sshhhh. If you say it they will code it.

Around here a lot of the electricians just put a piece of car flex on it, as other approved means.v

Btw that was submitted by the NEC CMP 17 which oversees art 422.... Of course they are going to pass their own input

Their statement is a pile of crap. Where aren't there any statistics in the susbstantiation? Something like "over a five year period between 2012-2016 the bored hole in the cabinet wood caused 62,000 cords to fray causing 24,567 fires resulting in $78.9 million dollars in damage". I made that all up, you can probably replace all of the numbers with zeros.
