What should I report if a neighbouring cabinet door blocks the cooker oven?

Identify the contact point and whether it began after cabinet work. A furniture obstruction is different from a defective oven hinge.

What the observation means

Opening the cooker door against another handle can strain both assemblies. Do not force the movement or loosen the cooker mounting to create space.

A useful next step

Keep the affected cavity unused if normal safe opening is compromised. Explain the cabinet arrangement when arranging assessment and, where appropriate, contact the kitchen fitter. Appliance repair does not automatically include altering surrounding furniture or changing the installation layout.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
