Yes, that's the first thing you should do. Also, check the owner's manual for your dishwasher, because there may be a button sequence to push to force a hard reset. (The controllers often maintain state even when powered off.) The first time my dishwasher quit I was able to reset it. Second time around a year later that didn't work so I tried replacing the controller board. That didn't fix it and of course electrical parts aren't returnable. It turned out to be the front control panel.
We remodeled our kitchen four years ago and installed all new appliances. I realized the other day that every single appliance has had problems; that used to be unheard of. Our track record:
Viking gas stovetop: electronic ignitors wouldn't stop firing. It had the problem since it was new, and they made three or four service calls replacing every single component in the stovetop without success. Viking finally gave us a new stove after my wife wrote a letter to the company's president.
Frigidaire refrigerator: weird noises and freezing evaporator coils. Repaired under warranty.
Jenn-Air electric double oven: Cooling fan failed as soon as it went out of warranty.
KitchenAid dishwasher: bad front panel.
The interesting thing is that every appliance has had exactly one problem, and they've all worked fine since they were repaired.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
