Dishwasher - door fallen on whilst open

[mugguns]

Sis has an integrated Neff dishwasher in house she has just moved to. Unfortunately the previous owner fell on the door whilst it was open ( a heavy fall as there are dents on the inside stainless steel). This has resulted in the door not closing and being unable to use it. The hinge and/or the mechanism to which it mounts doesn't operate properly and there is a definite 'jump' when it moves.

All I need to know is - is this likely to be repairable or will this be a write off?

I'm not sure the door itself is damaged so unlikely to need replacing but the hinge mechanism and possibly where that mounts inside the body may be damaged - thoughts please?

Is this a let property or personally owned?
If let, does the appliance belong to the landlord, if so report to them!
If not, would be difficult to say, without know the full extent of the damage.
Not Neff but this vid may help with investigating the damage.

A lot depends on how old it is, and therfore what it is worth.

Neff is a Brand Name owned by Boch, so it will be a Bosch machine.

Integrated appliances are extra work to take out and put back. A free-standing machine could be pulled out for repair, or swapped for a new one, in a matter of minutes.

They never tend to be 100% after that happens so I'd get rid of it else you'll be throwing money at it.
