Electrical capacity of dishwasher and water heater:
1) 15 amp breaker with 14 gauge wire at 80% rated load = 12 amp load/ 1440 watt.
2) 20 amp breaker with 12 gauge wire at 80% rated load = 16 amp load/ 1920 watt.

3) Typical dishwasher 420-720 Watts and draws 3.5- 6 amps (look at label inside door on dishwasher)
4) Typical under counter water heater 2-1/2 gallon to 20 gallon is 1500 Watt and draws 12.5 amps.

5) Combined load for dishwasher and water heater is 2220 Watts and 18.5 Amps.

Objective
: wire both 120V dishwasher and 120V water heater so neither will turn on at same time


Never assume power is OFF
Use non-contact voltage tester on timer, on wire, on outlet to see if power is present.
Press button on tester, if single beep then no power is present. If continuous beep then power is present.
Never stand on bare ground, always stand on dry boards, do not hold or touch anything metal when working on timer or water heater that has power, tape tester leads to wood sticks, never touch wet water heater, or flooded water heater, or timer that had a short or fire without turning power OFF.
