I have to assume someone here has done a DIY dishwasher (hey, Mr retiredguy123) replacement, and I want to make sure I get all the parts for the new one and don't want to pull out the old one first.
Question is IF YOU HAVE REPLACED ONE in a SIMILAR HOME do they "hard-wire" these to an existing junction box or did they put in a standard 110V outlet in the back of the existing opening to just plug it in?
TL;DR
All the BOSCH built-ins come with a standard "plug" for a standard 110V outlet but also (optionally) you need to supply their non-standard junction box kit (see attached) for a hard-wire install. I have a done a couple dishwasher installs over the years but the appliance always had a built-in junction box for a direct romex connection. I could just cut off the plug and connect it to the romex if that is what is there but that ain't kosher (not that anyone would look). Their "special" hard-wire junction box kit is this (see photo and note the non-standard connection for the dishwasher end).
!YES! I could just order then return the Bosch box if not needed but I am curious what's behind the curtain.

They’re plugged into a dedicated receptacle behind the dishwasher
