Pushed in touch screen

Hi guys

I'm after a little advice. When pushing back in the washing machine my partner pushed on the top where the touch screen is and made it loose and pushed it in a bit.

I have attached some pictures. Is this as simple as taking off the top of the washing machine and pushing back in?

Thanks a lot

Hello there. Yes, obviously make sure it is totally disconnected from the mains. Hopefully you can get to it and just push it back into place without having to dismantle much or anything.
