dishwasher

a smart person would plug it in

Sorry but ONLY a portable Dish washer should/can be plugged in. the ampcity demands of a built in is higher, ( due to larger heating coil in built ins) ,you need to hard wire a built in due to fact that very few plugs are rated ot 20 amps 99 % are 15 amps and so are wires leading to plugs, too often they are 14 awg as opposed to correct 12 awg for a built in.

How do you tell if a dishwasher is hardwired?

Usually all dishwashers are hardwired. It is simply safer as water and electricity don't mix. To check for sure- the unit must be pulled if no other way to see the power cord is available. The wire should run straight into a junction box. That is "hardwired". Dishwashers are very light weight and easy to move. Usually only a couple of anchoring screws mount them to the counter. More for support than to hold in place. Be very careful when pulling the unit forward. If properly installed there should be plenty of wire and pipe to pull the unit out for maintenance but be cautious.

Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?

If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.
