Hello,

My Whirlpool dishwasher is fairly new and I opened it early in it's cycle to add some silverware. Now the handle opener thingy is stuck in the up position and I can literally pop open the door anytime during the cycle and the dishwasher will keep on cleaning. This can't be good. :thumbdn:

How do I fix the handle so that it pops out again and locks properly and triggers the dishwasher to stop when I open it mid-cycle?

Thank you in advance!
