[quote=Anonymous]I agree that this needed to be rectified while contractor was still working on kitchen. Note to all people who are mulling over house renovation. You reach a point of desperation about wanting the job finished: Do not let those eager feelings taint your judgement and insist things be done right, even though it adds another delay. The problem with home repairs is that you get stuck having to live with--literally--the job you sign off on...

I can't quite picture the problem, although I do understand the problem cognitively. Seems to me the options to explore might be: can you get a fridge that is less deep? Fridges come in a huge number of dimensions and I would not be surprised at all if you can't find one that is shallower. Can you get a fridge in which the door hangs on the other side (or could be hung on the other side), so that clearance isn't an issue? If you match your other appliances for color, believe me no one will notice that they are different brands. We have a JennAir stove, Whirlpool washer, Kitchen Aid fridge, and GE Profile microwave but all are in brushed stainless and it's really not a problem.

If changing the appliance is absolutely not possible, next you can look at the cabinetry. Bring your kitchen designer back in. There may be a change that can be made to the cabinetry next to the fridge that could be traded for a narrower piece. You will probably have to pay a lot of money to have counter lifted, etc. There may be a panel piece you can buy or custom purchase to cover the part of the fridge that sticks out. [/quote]
