[quote=Anonymous]We had a custom kitchen built for us from the studs. When we rolled the french door refrigerator in, it looked great. However, the contractor mis-measured and the doors hit the granite countertop when opened all the way. He "fixed" it by nailing in a 2x4 in the back of the refrigerator well so while the fridge opens completely, it sticks out quite a bit. So you can see a 4-inch piece of the black back part of the fridge from the sides.

It really bothers me, and this is our 2nd year in this kitchen. I knew that the only way to fix it was to re-do all the cabinets and granite and so I just grinned and bear it, but now I want it fixed. What can I do? Is there a way to fiddle with the refrigerator door so it doesn't open all the way? We will not be able to re-do the cabinets because it's expensive and seems like a waste.

Has this happened to anyone before? I imagine the contractor measured the space for the refrigerator but didn't realize how far the doors open. (It's counter-depth, not regular, so I'm really annoyed that he didn't think to check this first.)

Thanks for any advice[/quote]
