Blue Light Stays On

I have had this dishwasher repaired once before because the blue light on "1 hour wash" stays on regardless of what I tried.Now it's on again. I think because this model does not have a real handle , I loosen something in the controls every time I open the door.QUESTION: Can I change the door on this model for a door with a real handle ?

Please initial a Live Chat from here http://www.kitchenaid.com/contact-us/ for the best advise on the handle issue. It is just that the wash cycle may also be brought to halt due to a bad heating element or its relay thereto.
