I took the inner door panel loose to replace the handle. If I had it to do over I would remove the handle torx screws. Break out the old handle with pliers and snap in the new .

Repair & Advice
The door handle on our dishwasher was cracked in 3 places. Didn't affect the operation at all, just the appearance. Replaced it. The old one was hard to get out, and the new one was a very snug fit, so I didn't even use the screws. Looks better now.

Problem
Dishwasher door handle cracked in two places. Appeared that screws were installed too tightly during original assembly.
Tools
Phillips head, long bit on a Milwaukee lithium battery compact screwgun.
Repair & Advice
Removed 12 screws just inside the door 3/4 of the way around(both sides & top). Removed 2 handle screws and did not reinstall those as the new handle seems to fit plenty snug w/o them.
