how do I fix a short out
I think my dishwasher shorted something out. It didn't complete the cycle and I figured out that there was no power anymore going to it or a couple other outlets in the kitchen. When I trip the circuit breaker it makes a "pop" noise somewhere around the dishwasher. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to call an electrician... Thanks!

The "pop" may just be a solenoid valve closing on the dishwasher, or it can be the door latch releasing. -
Was the circuit breaker tripped and did you have to reset it and does it retrip?
Is the breaker a GFIC breaker?
What other outlets are no longer working when it trips?
Being its in the kitchen the outlets are going to be GFIC protected by code.
