Put the front panel back on, kick plate back on, and fired her up. Filled

Don't know too much about dishwashers, but I think most of them have
some sort of door interlock switch that prevents motor operation if the
switch indicates that the door is not closed. Could be that whatever is
wrong with the door handle has hosed up the interlock switch?
