If that doesn't work, just remove the cabinet. You can't reach it
anyway. I've never used mine for anything.

Hmmm. That's an interesting idea... Thanks!

I put shallow slide out drawers in upper cabinets to enable them to be
used without resorting to a step ladder.

Was the previous floor removed completely befoe the new one was
installed? If not, it shoudl have been. Also, if you actually
bothered to read the manufacturers installation instructions for the
refrigerator you would have noticed that that it gives minimum
clearances on all sides of the refrigerator, which you have alos most
likely violated. If you trim the cabinet piece, what's going to happen
when you have to replace the refrigerator? It's not going to look nice
unles you can get another refrigerator the same size. Either redo the
floor right if that's what caused the problem, buy a smaller
refrigerator, or remove the cabinet, then wait until your refirgerator
breaks, then but a smaller one and replace the cabinet.

What's going to happen in the same situation in a million other homes
where you have a gap of several inchs between the cabinet and
refrigerator?

Yeah, that;s sharp advice. Tear out an entire new ceramic kitchen
floor instead of trim a cabinet.

First, take a good look under the fridge to make sure it can't go any
lower, by removing feet, etc. Next would be to remove the cabinet,
take it to a cabinet shop and have them trim it down for you. I would
think it could be done so it's virtually unnoticeable.
