Frigidaire dishwasher handle won't connect

Dishwasher Repair

I’m working on my MIL’s dishwasher. It’s pretty old and I can’t find a model number, but after removing the front cover there’s a tech sheet that says P/N 154547901 Electronic Series.

The problem is that the door won’t shut! It looks like there’s a latch inside that doesn’t move when I push the handle, so I’m guessing that a spring or arm has come loose. I don’t see a way to get inside of the door, though; the cover is off so I see the wires and control panel, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

Any suggestions on finding the right part?

Remove the control panel by removing the screws from the inner door panel to gain access to the latch assembly and replace it. The model number should be located on the inner door panel near the edge of the door. Based on the tech sheet part number, the model may begin with FDB1050RE**.
