Odds are you are correct, the door switch is either bent or broke. This will require removing the microwave from the wall, then removing the cover.

I recommend taking it to a service shop. Microwaves can be dangerous and if not reassembled properly you can cause radiation to leak into the room. Plus the door switch is a safety interlock, it needs to be functioning properly. Unless you're really confident in your abilities this should be done by a service shop.
