Does a dishwasher need to be hooked up to an air vent?

Answer by  vampireroo (204)

Dishwashers generally do not need to be connected to air vents, although commercial or specialty models may be different. Always check your appliance installation guide to ensure that you have all necessary components and requirements to install new appliance. If you do not have acesss to the installation guide then call the manufacturer.

No, there no air required for a dishwasher. Dishwashers only need to be hooked up to a water source (to include HOT water) and also a drain.

Dishwashers don't need to be hooked up to an air vent; but to work properly they do need a clear space underneath for the hot air to come out of the machine.
