Unless you paid to fix the structural floor settling joist issues, you can’t expect the floors to be perfectly level. But the cabinets have to be. Which is the situation that you have.

You have to see a bit of the box, in order for the doors to physically work. You didn’t purchase a built in. You bought counter depth. Big difference.

To level the fridge requires that it be emptied, unplugged, laid down, and the legs adjusted. Then raised up. Repeat until good. Then leave it upright at least 24 hours before plugging it back in.

The fridge breathes out the required spacing at the top, which already looks inadequate. You can not add any additional trim to choke it off more. Again, a counter depth is not a built in.

@User got it. I’m asking for too much. When the guys leveled it, they did not turn the fridge in its back. They got on the floor and leveled it by twisting the bottom pieces. They also did not install the anti-tip bracket (I am spoke up about this but it still has not been installed).

Regarding the spacing, I was under the impression only the box part had to breath. I figured the trim would still leave the whole back open. I am attaching a pic of how much of the box is exposed (it is more than the doors that you see in my other photos). It seems like enough to me, but maybe I am wrong.

Assuming this is the GE CWE23SP2MS1 refrigerator, the user manual says:

• Allow 1" at the top and 2" at the back for ventilation (page 25).
• There are only front leveling legs that level the refrigerator (step 14, page 34). (If the legs are not fully extended, one would think they could be extended to prevent the refrigerator from leaning forward as it appears to be.)

@wdccruise We currently have 2 1/2” on one side from top and 2 1/8” on the other (from the top). The bottom is closer to even (but not exactly). I will see if we can raise the bottom up anymore. The lean makes me so nervous because there isn’t even an anti tip installed (we have the bracket).

The trim I wanted to add would be in the front so I figured it wouldn’t impede in the rest of the space above the box. Is that wrong?

@wdccruise you were right! No need for trim. Stood by how it is supposed to be done and my cabinet guy fixed the issue. Made a huge difference :-) Thank you for your responses!
