Default How to fix screws pulled out of chipboard?

The chipboard front of our dish-washer has become detached
because the screws holding it on have pulled out.
Is there any simple way of re-inforcing the material around the holes?
Would Araldite be strong enough to screw into?
Quite a lot of force is required to open the (De Dietrich) dishwasher.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
