What drives the price
- The dishwasher. Most of the price is the appliance. Fixr says drawer dishwashers average $1,800 to install.
- Replacement or new. A swap uses the existing water, drain and power. A new location needs all three.
- Cabinet work. Fitting a dishwasher where there was none means removing a cabinet.
