The dishwasher will not slide out because of the mounting screws along the trim and the uppper two brackets to the counter. Any idea how I get this open?

We are able to open our door by leaning down pretty hard on the top edge of the door (that releases the latch) and then pull forward. We have been operating that way for about a month. I ordered the replacement part and now am having trouble detatching the old handle. Part was about $30 on the internet.

The door popped open. I then removed the door handle from the inside and replaced with a new one. Works fine.
