Problem
Door latch sensor wasn't working--the dishwasher would stop after about 5 minutes and the light would flash in sets of 5 blinks.
Tools
I used a tiny ratchet with a star bit fit into it, but you could use a screwdriver with the star bit also. The tiny ratchet fit better in the space available.
Repair & Advice
You just take out two screws, pop the latch mechanism out, unplug the two wires (they both plug in using the same connector), then you can either plug in the new one before putting it in using the screws, or you can put the new latch in first, tighten down the screws, and then plug it in at the end (this is what I did, to avoid any damage to the wiring). It's very obvious and straightforward once you get the dishwasher pulled out and look at the part. Easy fix. :)
