Dumbass me Part Deus.
Many might remember when I freaked out and thought my air conditioner broke, turned out to be a beer bottle next to the floor vent, causing it to make noise like a didgeridoo?
So today, cleaning up my house, I piled the dishes into the dishwasher. I pressed the start button, NOTHING. The "heat" light was set on lock. Kept pressing start and holding it down to reset. Still nothing. So I kept pressing every damned button to see if I could get it to reset. NOTHING.
So at one point I was thinking, great, fucking thing is broken. Nope it was not. After almost an hour opening and closing it and pressing buttons, I noticed a knife and fork sitting at the bottom of the unit. It was blocking the water arm from rotating. The designers had an idiot like me in mind and designed it so it would not break in case of something blocking the arm.
So as soon as I removed the knife and fork. BAMN, it started.
