Document the damage and seek advice before assuming it is cosmetic. Its position matters because the cabinet, seal area and concealed parts have different functions.
What the observation tells you
A small visible dent does not reveal what happened during handling. Starting the appliance to prove it works may complicate assessment, especially if cables, hinges or cooling-system damage are suspected. Do not straighten panels yourself.
A useful next step
Contact the supplier with photographs and the model details, then follow the manufacturer's handling and startup guidance. Keep food elsewhere until the condition and suitability for use are established.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
