How to Change the Latch on a KitchenAid Superba Dishwasher

In order to run a cleaning cycle with your KitchenAid Superba dishwasher you must fully close the dishwasher door. The door is shut once the top door latch connects to the top portion of the appliance. If your door won't shut properly, then you can change the door latch handle at any time. To access the door latch you must fully remove the control panel and circuit board.
