Custom Panel dishwasher fit problem.

I'm frustrated with mine. This has not turned out how I expected it.

1. My cabinet door was made 1/8" wider than the opening and it won't open because the bottom corners hit. I don't want to cut the panel narrower because the whole point of this thing was for it to look like it was part of the cabinets and I didn't want to see any cracks on the side. I would have thought the door would swing out like the custom panel fridges.

2. How is everyone handling the kickplate at the bottom. It doesn't look very good?

You should have a kickpanel made for it that matches the one to the right of it.

The problem is the door would hit it. The door drops down an inch or two when it opens.
I think you are going to have to have a recessed toe kick, for the reasons you are describing. There's no changing the swing on the dishwasher. Maybe just make a solid, recessed toe kick in matching white.

Also I agree with not trimming the cabinet door. I think that would be my last option.
The dishwasher does not look like it's levelled/installed properly. There appears to be a gap at the top and the dishwasher may be too far back. I would look to make sure the installation is 100 percent correct before going any further.
