What cord to use for dishwasher?

When connecting a dishwasher, it's essential to use a power cord that is rated for 15 or 20 amps, depending on the dishwasher's requirements. Typically, a 14-gauge cord is suitable for most residential dishwashers. Ensure the cord is UL-listed and suitable for appliance use. If you're hardwiring the dishwasher, use a dedicated circuit with appropriate voltage and amperage according to local electrical codes.
