Go to admire our new beauty & the freezer door will not open enough to get a container of ice cream into the freezer. Looks like other than a small top freezer style refrigerator you can not upgrade from the near basic fridge that is standard. No indoor ice and water style.

Has anyone else had this issue and were you able to come up with any resolution short of cabinet remodel. Thanks for any info up front.
If the countertop hangs over it can be cut off to give a little more room. The top and bottom cabinets should line up with a little overhang by the actual counter top
