PostHeaderIcon how to repair latch on hotpoint dishwasher


Hi
I have a hotpoint aquarius dishwasher on which the door won`t close properly. When I push the door in the dishwasher works but as soon as I let it go it stops.There is a little grey latch inside the door panel which connects to the metal latch on the main Dishwasher, I think this is the problem as I have notice that it moves into different positions, but I can`t get it to move into the one which holds the door properly!! I have looked on various fix-it sites but can`t see how to take the door panel at the top off to get at the switch.I loosened the screws on the door panel and looked for hidden screws as suggested but could not get the top panel off. I think it would be simple to repair if I could get to the switch!!
Can anyone help?

I Have seen the screws that hold the d/w to the cabinets come loose and affect the way the door closes. Look to see that nothing is holding racks in the wrong place. Make sure the door does not rub the cabinets when closing. Check all these out first many times a very simple problem not hard look for simple first!
