This really isn't a question, but... Shave down a little bit of your cabinets on each side like I did, or reverse the way your door opens. Otherwise choose a different make microwave.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, Thanks so much for reaching out. We're terribly sorry to hear that your microwave door will not open and can understand your frustration! When installing an over-the-range microwave, the minimum clearance from the wall to the door hinge should be 1/2". You may need to create some additional space so the door can properly open. Have a great day! Mike@GEA
