Integrated washing machine - dropped screws inside

We accidentally pushed the screws for the integrated cupboard door hinges into the body of our Beko WTIK72121_WH washing machine when removing the packaging.

I’m pretty sure the screws went behind the front panel/cabinet wall rather than directly into the drum area (we have a young baby and had to run a few cycles since installing it).

So far:
- machine still runs normally
- no leaks
- no burning smell
- no obvious grinding noises
- spin cycle seems fine

I’ve done some reading and it sounds like it’s a common mistake that happens but it’s difficult to fix without dismantling the entire machine. Is that true, or am I missing something? I’ve ordered a magnetic pickup tool but I’m not even sure where to start looking. Any suggestions?

TIA!

Local Election Results

Not all wards have declared yet but looks like we’ve avoided a Reform takeover. Biggin Hill have gone that way but looks like most other places the Tories have managed to cling on. Whodathunk that would fill me with some kind of relief…
