very possibly it will fix your problem. if the machine is in there all katywampus it will flex a bit and make it difficult to close and/or latch the door. good luck and post your results here

I would pull out dishwasher slightly and if door closes ok but latch sticks I would spray some wd-40 on the latch and if adjustable with screws under the latch, I would adjust slightly out to reduce door closing pressure on the door seal.
If dishwasher is an older one I would try a little vaseline on the door gasket to soften it up.
