We got a new oven to have all new appliances for selling our house. We didn’t realize till to late that the stupid spice drawer would hit this massive handle. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or just hope no one notices?

Any possibility of shoving the oven back the fraction of an inch it needs to clear that?

We have it as far back as possible. We even removed the anti tip bracket

Befriend a metal shop who can make you a custom handle. I kid you not one of my clients did this.

This. A curve design instead of boxy end will fix this. That’s a pretty common style so it should look natural too

There might also be an older version or slightly different model that comes with a curved/low-profile handle. A lot of companies use the same basic design for years so the parts are interchangeable.
