Of the things that can go wrong in a kitchen, ice-makers and dishwashers number near the top. Not to mention the energy hogs that they are. A friend has added a second air-handler because the dishwasher had overloaded the air conditioning.

In older kitchens, access is often better, but it's "the few contortions" will cause DIY'ers to call for service. Dishwasher hoses tend to be short, close to electric wires, and are hard to handle, so it's not like replacing a clothes-washer hose.
