Problem
Washer door did not latch or unlatch reliably.
Tools
Need TX15 star head driver to remove the control panel from door. Needle nose pliers to get spring(s) attached to handle & latch assembly.
Repair & Advice
Found one side of plastic latch handle broken. Replaced latch handle and added the second spring (apparently only one is normally used). Installing springs on both sides of new latch handle seemed to make the latch operation feel more secure.

Problem
Broken latch, making use of dishwasher difficult
Tools
Phillips Screwdriver
Repair & Advice
Needed to remove and replace dishwasher control panel for installation of new latch, as existing latch was broken. Original control panel had many broken inserts that accepted screws for securing panel, thus needed to be replaced as well.
