That looks a bit odd to me. Was the previous one integrated?
I would expect the door to overlap the cabinet (i.e. it'd sit outside the housing when closed, as would the rest of the doors in the kitchen) but yours looks like the door fits inside the cabinet. So when the door opens then it catches the side which stops it opening.
Either that or a slider so that the door moves as it opens?
Something like this

@duncs cheers - it's a more traditional approach to kitchen cabinet making to have the doors inset. The folks over at devol and other hand made kitchen makers still do it.
The previous one was integrated and retained the inset door, however it was misaligned so I wonder if that was the reason for it.
I'll see if neff do some sliding hinges as that would probably solve the issue, its only a couple of mm that is catching. I really don't want to plane the doors down and have an increased gap if I can solve it another way.

DIY halp needed. I have inset kitchen units which are all handmade and lovely etc. I'm removing all the doors, sanding down and repainting and re-hanging. I've just "installed" a new integrated fridge and integrated freezer and went to hang one of the doors on the integrated freezer to see how it looked.
I can't figure out why the door doesn't open fully though - the right most edge of the cabinet door catches on the cabinet which means the freezer door will only open to about 45 degrees. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this works. The only way I can get it to open is the slide the freezer forward which means the door is misaligned with the rest fo the cabinets.
Anyone got any good ideas?!
