The guy on YouTube made it look like it would take ten minutes, so of course it took me half an hour, but I did correctly identify the problem, find the part on eBay (discontinued, though there is a substitute), get the door panel off and back on without breaking it or electrocuting myself, and replace the door switch. Most of the half hour was spent trying to get the switch contacts out of the clips; putting the new switches in place was easy, but the old ones did not want to come out, and I actually hurt my bad elbow doing it, but I got them! P came home while I was working, so he wrangled the door handle into the new bracket while I wrestled with the contacts. Took a few minutes to put it back together, and we were good to go. I like a $27 part from eBay much better than having to buy a new dishwarsher! This is the old one, and the package from the new one (minus the actual switches because I had to break them to get the contacts out). FWIW part number is 99002254.
