[HettichHafeleCertified]: Absolutely. Dishwashers generate heat, steam, and occasional condensation. Adjacent cabinets require moisture-resistant panels, sealed edges, proper ventilation clearances, and correct countertop sealing. Most failures occur because surrounding cabinetry wasn't designed for appliance-generated moisture.
