    A number of solutions come to mind, modify the refrigerator base , there is usually some adjustment on them, cut the cabinet more than 1/8 , say 1 inch and use a trim strip to dress it off, that way you know it will fit. A trim strip can cover saw marks etc and still give a good appearance. Trying to squeeze it into a tight spot with no room for leveling etc just makes it more difficult to remove for cleaning etc. That's why I suggest the 1 inch of cabinet trim with a trim moulding.

    Is it too late to take the fridge back?

    We're in a bit of a time-bind, unfortunately, and we jumped through some hoops just getting the fridge into the room (had to remove moulding on a door so I'll have to reinstall and repaint that too). I thought about telling the delivery guys to just take it back, but I figured trimming the cabinet to size would be less hassle overall.

    I haven't looked at the manual, but I'm guessing the wheels at the base of the fridge don't adjust or else the delivery guys would have done it right away. So far Geezer's table saw / trim strip idea is the front runner. I was thinking about a router with a straight bit, too- I'm concerned about scarring up the finish on the front surface.
