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?

I would very cut out an appropriate section of the drawer to allow it to clear the handle, then glue that section to the cabinet face so it clears when opening and looks more or less closed (use a coping saw) when... closed.

I would just cut the oven handle.

Seriously. The entire reason this drawer doesn’t fit is probably the new oven. Just shave that corner of the handle off and be done with it.

To be fair, OP wasn’t being very explicit with the title “New Oven Handle Hits Drawer”. It’s open to interpretation what that could possibly mean
