There is a splice box on the dishwasher, under the kick plate. Run the feed

Thanks! That makes life a little easier. Do I just pull Romex through
the floor (I'm going to need a junction/outlet box in the basement to
avoid the free-air splices).

I ripped out our dishwasher a couple of months ago because it started
****ing all over the floor, and we were just about to put new
"hardwood" (bamboo, actually) flooring in. Ok, it's time to replace
the dishwasher, but... The original dishwasher was "directly" wired in
to the service. I put directly in quotes because the yutz who did the
original job (contractor, I'm sure - the house is 19YO) spliced the
wires under the unit with floating wire-nuts - no box. Yikes!

Q: Now that everything is accessable, is direct wire-in allowed?
Reasonable? I can easily wire in an outlet box in the space, since I
have access to the basement underneath. It's anou outside wall, so may
mess up some insulation in the process though. I'm just not sure what
is "normal". I'm *quite* sure that exposed wire nuts under a dishwasher
isn't right.
