It is generally not recommended to put a dishwasher and a microwave on the same circuit. Both appliances draw a significant amount of power, and using them simultaneously could overload the circuit, causing it to trip or, in some cases, pose a fire hazard.
Dishwashers and microwaves typically require separate circuits to operate safely and efficiently. The National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building codes usually mandate specific electrical requirements for kitchen appliances. These codes are designed to ensure electrical safety and prevent overloading circuits.
To determine the appropriate electrical setup for your kitchen appliances, consult a licensed electrician who can assess your home's electrical system and make the necessary adjustments or additions to accommodate the dishwasher and microwave separately. By having separate circuits for these high-powered appliances, you can reduce the risk of electrical issues and ensure both appliances can operate smoothly without causing problems.
