Thanks. I ended up cutting open the drywall and recessing the receptacle, running the conduit through the sill plate, because there wouldn't have been sufficient clearance behind the dishwasher with a surface mount box/receptacle. Used 1" conduit after checking wire fill requirements. Everything is buttoned up and I have correct voltage in the receptacle.

Now I need to get the dishwasher ready to install. Whoever removed it simply cut off the factory plug, so I bought a replacement plug. Worse, they cut the rubber drain hose flush with the dishwasher chassis - idiots! - so I need to splice in another length of hose. I think I'll try draining into the existing kitchen sink drain and not installing a floor drain unless I have to. I really don't like plumbing - something about it doesn't click with me.

Dang, I hope after all this the dishwasher actually works. I wasn't able to test it and for $250 it was an "as-is" sort of purchase.

It is a stunning heavy unit. I'll need helpers just to get it into the house.
