Broken adjuster latch not holding while open.

Had three issues, this fixed two. The latch wasn't sometimes failing during the wash cycle and the dishwasher door was coming open slightly which was fixed. Also fixed broken adjuster that I had rigged with a zip tie temporarily. Didn't fix it having issues closing, but ordered an additional part to fix. Took a lot of time to figure out the close issue, so my repair took longer than expected. There was an additional damaged part I hadn't identified.
