Hotpoint fdw20 door catch?

my hotpoint fdw20 dishwasher door catch has decided not to close. It can be forced shut, but then the catch does not lock. Any answers much appreciated.

I have had the same problem, I took my door lock out and found the spring that holds the latch in the closed position had disappeared???. Bought a new door lock for about £15 at hotpointservice.co.uk. Hope this helps

lack of servicing,try wd 40 in lock,not too much,if this fails then the lock will need replaced
