I'm installing a Bosch D/W and the genious who installed the earlier D/W cut the power line such that it is exactly the length needed to hook up the electrical which the D/W is pushed in and there is no slack.
The Bosh D/W requires the new cable to follow a track in the bottom of the unit vs. there being room to go diagnally directly to the box on the old D/W.
(imagine a diagnal line across a square, vs. having to go down oneside of the square and up the other side to get to the same point).
So now I'm left with a flexible conduit and wires that are too short.
Anyone know of an easy solution?
I don't even know where the box is that feeds the conduit sticking out of the wall. But it wasn't anywhere within a few inches of where the conduit exits the wall.
Can you extend a conduit? (don't think that's possible given the requirements for junction boxes).
Also, if I run the conduit under the sink, but a box there and then run new wire to the D/W does the new D/W wire have to be flexible metal conduit? Or can it be like just regular Romex wire?
TIA!
