I have no dish washer but maybe this link may give some help.
It talks about your machine may be giving you a fault code which could help narrow your search.

Try checking the inlet solinoid , should be 1 for hot & cold, sometimes the solinoid will freeze up due to alkaline buildup .try soaking it in CRL , alkaline deposit desolving liquid .

I think you can fix this yourself if you can see the latch itself. There should be some screws at or near the latch that can be removed. this would allow you to physically get to the latch and check it out. It may be that the latch is broken or loose OR it may be where the latches "catches" that could be the problem also. You are probably looking at an hour's work.

I had the same problem. There is a spring on the catch mechanism that breaks. Replace this and it fiexes the fault.

Check pump is running

unplug it for an hour this normally fixes this problem on my machine

I didn't bother putting them back. They are just there to stop the front door vibrating. They made no difference if there or not.

My mother has a neighbour who has a new hotpoint dishwasher which caught fire inside (Plastic on door front melted!).

Please contact Hotpoint - if yours is new, check to see if they can replace immediately otherwise its worth booking the engineer to sort £90 - free parts on machines less than 5 years old.
