When my dishwasher was hooked up by the cabinet installation crew, they ran the drain hose over top of the dishwasher and into the top of the sink cabinet. I've never seen a drain hose configuration like this, so I wanted to see if anyone thinks that this would be problematic.
The drain exits my dishwasher on the bottom right side, goes straight up, and extends over the dishwasher, across a gap between the dishwasher and sink cabinet (my sink is installed in a corner at a 45 degree angle to my dishwasher), and then through a hole near the top of my sink cabinet. The installer did this to avoid having to use a drain hose extension.

I haven't tested the dishwasher yet because my sink plumbing and countertops have not been finished yet. It does look like there is just enough room for the hose between the countertop and dishwasher. I just want to get a few opinions before the counter goes on because it would be easier to adjust now if necessary.
