Just a question out of pure curiosity.
New dishwasher installation, manual calls for a 20 amp breaker. No problem, run 12Ga/2 (with ground ) Romex from breaker to J-Box, Run 12Ga/2 (with ground ) BMX up to dishwasher. Open dishwasher electrical cover and it has
16Ga wire?????So if code requires 12Ga for a 20 amp circuit how can the UL/CSA labeled Kenmore dishwasher have 16GA wire for the final connection. Same thing with the garbage disposal system.
Any thoughts on this one?
