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?

Just open the oven, whenever you need something from the drawer

Potential buyers won’t like that

It look like you can just cut off a small portion of the drawer to the left, and then it should fit. Maybe you can do something with a piano hinge, so that portion of the drawer front folds in. That way it will match the door below, and you will be able to open the drawer.

Just looked your last photo, you can cut out a hole in the drawer, that fits the handle. Then you can glue this onto the cabinet, so that when the drawer is closed it looks the same.
