Garage
Hmm. Panel is already loaded up with tandem breakers. There is no separate 240v circuit for the oven, it is gas. I calculated my service requirements when i did the garage sub panel, didn't need an upgrade for that reason.

I will think about using the existing 240v circuit for the clothes dryer to run a sub panel, then run separate circuits for the dryer and the dishwasher from that. Come to think of it, I have another potential 240v appliance to add later (commercial two head espresso machine) so a sub panel might be the best approach.

The dishwasher has a booster heater, takes hot water and heats to 180 F for the rinse cycle, hence the power requirements.
