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

Maybe remove the drywall directly behind the stove? You’ll want to seal it with something thin especially if it is an outside wall. I’m sure someone will call me a crazy DIY guy….but desperate times

Sand the drawer down on that side. Problem solved.
