Our flooring contractor didn't tile under our dishwasher. The first time it leaked, the water soaked into the drywall behind it and did a lot more damage.

After I fixed the dishwasher, I used the tile remnants they left behind to tile under it. Worth it for the peace of mind.

We generally don’t go under dishwashers. You have to deal with electrical lines and often isn’t enough headroom to raise the floor another 1/4”.

If the cabinets are installed on top of the tile, there is no issue getting the dishwasher in. Dishwashers are all made to fit perfectly under a 34/5" cabinet, and have room for leveling.
