You’re trying to use an integrated overlay door in an inset location?
I think your only option is to remove the sides of the appliance carcass.
And then grow the old door, preferably with bits of timber that make it look like it’s inset (but actually isn’t).
Study the way your appliance door opens and you will find that it won’t work without an unsightly 15 or 18mm gap down the hinge edge.
I’ve had to do this a good few times when customers have shelled out 5 figures on a nice new kitchen with inset doors and face frames but wanted to recycle their shitty old worthless overlay door integrated machine.

I thought about epoxy (or similar). I feel like most things will fail after much opening. the seals on these are quite effective and its a hard tug (snarf) to open the fridge and freezer door. I think I'm going to go down the planing route and just live with a larger gap on the hinge side than the other cabinets.
