Default Silicone sealant between kitchen cabinet kick plate and floor -removal - dishwasher

In 2012 we had the rear of the house extended and a new kitchen fitted.
Laminate flooring and the kitchen on top.
Kick board/plate sealed to the laminate with some kind of silicone sealant.

My previous experience of silicone sealant is that it still stays fairly
soft and flexible and can be peeled off if required.

This clear sealant seems to be set hard.
Moderate attempts with a knife won't cut it, and I am delaying getting
brutal because I don't want to damage the floor or kick board.

I am off to trawl the Internet, but meanwhile does anyone know how to
soften or otherwise remove this stuff without terminal destruction?

I may be taking the wrong approach because I am trying to see underneath a
built in dishwasher to try and trace a leak.
I assumed that I would have to take the kick plate off.
Do I instead have to slide the dishwasher out?
That is, does a built in dishwasher sit on a cabinet floor or do its' bits
dangle into the void?


Cheers



Dave R
