Do not install the junction box in the same cabinet space as the dishwasher. Dishwashers can occasionally vent into their cabinets if the one way air equalization valve fails, and junction boxes are a notorious spot for electrical failures, smoke, and fires. You need to be able to get at it if something happens. Pulling your dishwasher out to get to it is not a good option. Mount it as high up as possible as well.

Right-o, thank you for the explanation! Sounds like a safety reason then. Adjacent cabinet it is. Thanks again!
