There IS no salt dispenser in the dishwasher.

There is a float switch inside your dishwasher that is usually to the left and is covered by a plastic piece that you can unscrew. Then take the float switch out and make sure it is clean and clear of all debris, and that it is working smoothly in its place. If its not that, then there is a switch underneath the float that you can only get to by accessing the underneath. To check that switch, you can take a multi-meter with ohm checking on it and see if the switch is operational by applying the leads from your multi-meter to each of the terminals. You should get nothing while depressed and it should ohm out if pressed. It could possibly be reversed, but aslong as you dont have a constant ohm or visa-versa, your okay. There is also a solenoid on the motor itself that you can do this same check on. It opens the flaps to let the water out when the timer calls for it. Last but should be first, make sure your hose that runs from the dishwasher isnt kinked or clogged in anyway. Always disconnect the power supply before doing any electrical. Hope this helps.

Unplug it and let it defrost. wile it is defrosting pull the botum front cover off and vacum out all of the acumulated lint off the tub on the bottum. after about 2 -3 hours plug it back in and listen for the fan running on the inside if you feel air coming out of the vents then you should be OK. If no fan replace it.

Sounds like your defroster is not working...bad defrost control or the heater for the defroster is burned out....also need to check to see that the circulation fan in the freezer compartment is blowing ok. You could do the old fashioned thing and remove all the food for a while, leave the doors open, blow with a fan inside the compartments to warm it all up and defrost any ice that may be under the evaporator coils...you can not see this ice as it is under sheet metal. Also check that the little pan at the bottom of the refrigerator is ok and that the hose to it is not stopped up preventing water from getting to the pan during the defrost cycle.

Start by buying a box of brand name dishwasher powder like Electrosol or Cascade. Use only it, not a cheap generic powder.
Please post back here with the results of this step and we can take the next step if needed. But I bet the step above will take care of your main problem.

OPEN THE DISH WASHER AND PULL OUT THE TOP RACK AND SPAY IT OUT WITH AN OUT SIDE WATER HOSE BECASE IT GET CLOG SOME TIME

It's look like a water level switch issue. The switch level is usually a diaphragm device with a small clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. I am not familiar with this specific machine, but if you will open the rear panel you should find it easily. You can either clear any obstruction in the tube or to replace the switch. Good luck !

my omega starts can hear the water then just switches of what can i do

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.

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.

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. ..

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.
