    I had an experience like that with a refrigerator. We had a fridge in
    a long skinny pantry, it was all the way down at the end, in front of
    a window. We wanted to take it out and put a new one in a better
    location. We measured, and the dang fridge wouldn't come out of the
    door. We measured again, it should have fit, but it didn't. Weird. 

    My husband ended up having to remove all the trim from the doorway,
    even sawing through some nails with a Sawsall. All to get this extra
    quarter inch. 

    Finally, we found out why. Apparently at the time this old fridge was
    made they used a foam that kept expanding, so up in the freezer area,
    it was bulging out -- just enough to keep the fridge from getting out
    the door!
