If the only appliance with a motor is the dishwasher, is it calculated at 25% as the largest motor or is it ignored due to the load being partly heat?

I would not. I would wire the DW based on the DW nameplate. Same as an AC unit you follow the nameplate the calculations are already done for you. But I could be wrong.
