Dishwasher door panel hits the toekick when opening

What does Toekick Interference mean?

When the dishwasher door is opened, the custom door panel or the door itself makes contact with the toekick. This interference prevents the door from opening fully and can cause damage to both the door and the toekick.

• Toekick is too tall or not recessed deep enough.
• Incorrect toekick dimensions for the installation.
