OK, here is a photo of the crack. It's in the black trim between the control panel and the black trim piece that goes on top of the DW door. It only extends on the top maybe 1/8" but is mostly in the front as you can see. Repairable?

OH YES! Dishwashers do bite.
The Hobart at my work bit me recently. Someone had just put the large mixer bowl(60QT) through when I went to wash a knife. As I was pushing the rack in to the entrance of the dishwasher some 160f water kicked out by the large bowl came through the splash curtain and right onto my hand. NOT FUN! LOL! :)
However this is the first time I've seen one use it's control panel to bite. A good polymer adhesive should repair this. There is no need to replace the PCB controller inside. WK78 | ||

Thanks for the advice. I noticed that the part is only available with the control panel for about $180.00. In the photo I had to pull on the handle a little bit to show the crack. If you don't do that you really can't see the crack at all. So if I glue it up, it should look ok. | ||

I hope the super glue works. This happened in my family with Maytag. Eventually, the latch will become harder and harder to open. By the time my mom called someone, the technician had to pry the door open and she did have to spend about $180. Makes you wonder if this is a plot to get you to buy a new dishwasher. Also, have you ever been "bit" by an airplane? It looks like flight attendants have to be careful not to have their fingers nearby when the close the door.
