790mm kitchen door won't fit dishwasher

We've just bought a new integrated dishwasher but as we have a 790mm door it won't fit properly as it hits the actual body of the dishwasher when opening. Having checked on the manufacturer's info on their web site it states max door length 725mm.

I'm likely going to have to return the dishwasher and repurchase but struggling to find any that will take 790mm doors.

Does anyone know any models that take 790mm doors or offer any advice.

Thanks.

    Is your kitchen a German (European) made one? If so, the problem isnt the dishwasher of the furniture but the installation. Your dishwasher needs to be wound down completely and the door fitted with the overhang at the top of the door, not the bottom which is what is happening right now causing the door to hit the plinth. Your furniture should carry these instruction.

    Our kitchen manufacturer does 795mm high units and we never have this problem.

    Agree with Ryder72.

    It's an easy mistake to make when you're not a kitchen fitter that is used to German made kitchens.
