This is not a difficult repair. If the model number you have this listed under is correct, all you should have to do is follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power breaker, or unplug the dishwasher.
2. Open the dishwasher door and locate the screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. These are torx, size T-2, I believe. Remove the screws directly behind the control panel and only loosen the remaining ones. This will enable you to remove only the control panel without having to remove the entire front panel facing.
3. If only the handle is broken, all you have to do is remove the the screws holding the latch assembly in place and lift out of the way. The door handle should lift out from the rear and a new one can easily be inserted.
4. If the latch assembly is broken, I would recommend replacing the small switches that plug into the latch assembly as well. They typically break when attempting to unplug the wires from the terminals, because they are so fragile.
Appliancepartspros.com has all the parts you need, along with some excellent exploded view diagrams you can use for reference. The parts that I am talking about are items 3, 4, and 5 under the "Control Panel" heading.
Item 3 is the Door Handle
Item 4 is the Door Switch
Item 5 is the Latch Assembly

I have a Maytag Quiet Series 100 dishwasher that will not spray water in wash cycle. The water enters during wash cycle, but is never forced into the spray arms. At the first occurance, the machine was set for a delayed start. When I checked the next morning, the completed cycle indicator was on, but the dishes had not been washed. I tried another wash, but when the spray never came on, I ended the wash, and the machine drained, as normal.
