Default Dishwasher and Garbage disposal on one circuit?

I'm a little surprised.

I looked at a Maytag installation manual for a dishwasher, and it shows how to either attach a cord and plug or how to direct wire it. In the back of my mind it had to be direct wired, but not so.

I've not installed a dishwasher, but I've done a disposal a couple of times, and I direct wired it.

I also looked at a disposal installation manual, and it was silent on the subject, BUT it did say there must be a power switch with the off position marked and it must be within view of the opening. I hope you remembered you need to turn this thing on and off, unlike a dishwasher that has its own controls.


We don't need no stinkin sweeetch,

My preference is batch feed where it is controlled by the stopper. Less
wiring and less likely to drop something into it while running.
