From the UL 'white book'
Quote:
DISHWASHERS, HOUSEHOLD (DMIY)
USE AND INSTALLATION
Some cord-connected units are suitable for field conversion to permanently connected installation; conversion instructions are provided with the conversion parts kit.
Some permanently connected type dishwashers may be converted to cord connection by means of a cord kit that is available from the manufacturer of the dishwasher.

Take it for what it is worth, an inspector could fail you for using a GE cord on a Maytag DW.

I do too, but the cords I put on garbage disposals and dishwashers say "replacement power tool cord" on the UL tag.

Years ago in Arizona, we would wire one circuit for both the garbage disposal and the dishwasher. We would put it on a 3-way switch so that in the down position it would power the DW and in the up position it would power the GD.

I'm not sure why you would do that. Standard practice here allows both appliances on one circuit and they can be run at the same time.

I had no idea it was your time of the month, I will mark it in my calender. 
You don't really care what I think and I don't expect you too.

Wow.
Tell me that was meant to be humorous.
A couple things you don't know about me.
1. I really do care what most people think of me.
2. I have a great sense of humor. I'll be the butt of any kind of joke you want to make.
I assume most everything said in here to be lighthearted but If you want to call me a bitch, I'll play. I don't really fight fair though so it's best not to fukk with me.
