DIO3T131FEUK Integrated dishwasher has power but won't switch on
Check Power Supply:
First, ensure that the dishwasher is properly plugged into an outlet. Sometimes vibrations or nearby appliances can cause it to come unplugged.
If it's plugged in, test the outlet by connecting a small appliance (like a toaster or blender) to see if it turns on. If it does, move on to the next step.
Check Circuit Breaker:
Verify if a circuit breaker has tripped. Go to your circuit breaker box and look for any tripped breakers.
If you find one, flip it to the "off" position and then back to the "on" position.
Test the dishwasher again to see if it powers on.
Child Lock or Delayed Start:
Some dishwashers have a child-lock feature that prevents accidental starts or changes to the wash cycle.
Check your owner's manual for instructions on disabling the child lock or delayed-start features.
Ensure that the dishwasher door is securely latched.
Reset the Dishwasher:
If the dishwasher has power but won't start, it might be stuck between cycles.
Allow any drain cycle to run (if applicable), wait for 60 to 90 seconds, and then press the start button once.
Unplug the dishwasher for a minute or two, then plug it back in. This can help reset the machine.
Refer to the owner's manual for any specific reset procedures.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to professional repair services or the manufacturer for further assistance.

Karcher Puzzi 100 Spray pressure low
troubleshoot the issue:
Spray Nozzle Blockage: Ensure that the spray nozzle is clear and not blocked. Sometimes debris or buildup can obstruct the nozzle, affecting the spray performance.
Pump Coil and Circuit Board: The pump coil could be damaged or broken. If it's faulty, the pump won't spray at all. You can check continuity through the coil and verify that the switch is supplying power to the circuit board and, in turn, to the pump. Dry solder joints or a failed smoothing capacitor on the circuit board can also cause issues. Pumps are relatively simple solenoid plunger types, and replacements are available for around £40-£50. If you're not comfortable testing at mains voltages, seek professional assistance.
Calcium Buildup and Blockages: Some pumps can be dismantled, allowing you to remove any calcium buildup or blockages. Gently tapping or shaking the pump might get it going. Recirculating a descaler can also help clear buildup without disassembly.
Pump Replacement: If the pump is indeed faulty, consider replacing it with a new one. It's advisable to change the circuit board (PCB) as well. If you're unsure about electrical testing, consult an expert.
Remember to follow safety precautions when dealing with electrical components. If you're not experienced, seek professional help to avoid any risks. Good luck with resolving the issue!
For reference, the Karcher Puzzi 100 is designed for gentle and effective cleaning of small to medium surfaces, especially carpets and upholstery2. Its spray pressure is around 1 bar, and the spray rate is approximately 0.26 gallons per minute. If you need further assistance, consider referring to the Karcher Puzzi 100 user manual.

Clean Light Flashes
I found this post elsewhere. It seems to have worked for me:
Our KitchenAid KUDP series dishwasher went into a mode where it would not start and would only respond to the cancel/drain button. The clean light would flash 7 times in a row, stop, and then repeat. I read that the 7 flashes indicates an error code and that the dishwasher has detected a problem in the heater element circuit. I tried to reset the error mode by turning off power for 15 minutes, however, that did not work.
We called for a repair. The service person found that the dishwasher was completely fine except that it had gone into an error mode. The technician reset the error mode and charge us $115.00.
The reset sequence used was reported to be the following:
1) Crack the door open.
2) Within 3 seconds press the following sequence - Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry, Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry
3) Close and latch the door
4) Press the cancel button (the circle with the triangle in it)
We were told the dishwasher expects to see the dish water temperature rise in a certain way. If the water does not heat in this way, the dishwasher becomes confused and thinks the heater element has failed. In deed, this happened just following and extended power failure and our hot water tank was cool. I am curious if this code will work for anybody else with the same problem and save a service call and 115 bucks. Overall, this seems to be a serious logic flaw in the design.
Can't get dishwasher out from underneath the counter
Question edited to move it from Computers to Dishwashers.
Is there by any chance a floor tile 4" out from the dishwasher front? If so, try lifting the front with a crowbar or long screwdriver.
Did you disconnect, inlet hose, drain and power? They may have been installed tight, or clipped.

Hobart AM15-1 Low Temperature Dishwasher. Techs question. I just replaced main board and relay board but now getting a E1 error code, curious if anyone knows what it is?
Question edited for clarity.
Error codes should be on the rear label according to the Technical Manual
https://www.partstown.ca/modelManual/HOB-AM15T_spm.pdf
There is no E1 error code for that machine and is is suggested that the display may be faulty.
https://www.google.com/search?q=hobart+am15+e1+error+code
The only reference to E1 is here, for the AM-16 and an electrical 'type'.
https://www.hobart.ca/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/warewash/AM16-BAS-Base-Electric-CF48568.pdf
For LXi machines
Drain and fill error messages are displayed as E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6 or E7. In all cases, the dishwasher will terminate current cycle operations, turn off all heat sources and display the message until the OFF button is pressed. (A power drain will not occur when turned off.) (See Troubleshooting.) If problem persists, contact your local Hobart Service Office
Phone Hobart Support. there are no Hobart Techs here, just me as caterer, career long Hobart user and Expert finder of information. Or try JustAnswer dot com.

HOW TO REPAIR A HOLE IN MY DISHWASHER
It depends upon the material you are trying to repair but Araldite or any good quality two part epoxy will suffice to fill the hole.
Ensure the area is dry and clean then build up the repair . Larger holes will require multi additions of epoxy.
