... have shrunk by one millimeter.

That is within the manufacturing tolerances, and those are simply higher for wood materials than for metal, for example.

Just a tip, if it really bothers you, take the cabinet down again, loosen the clamp eccentric, and slip pieces of paper between the lid and the side panel and between the bottom and the side panel. A sheet of newspaper is 1/10 mm thick. You can also shrink the cabinet this way: assemble it, tighten the eccentric, give a light!!! tap with a rubber hammer, then retighten.

And before someone says again that using paper is too complicated, in metal manufacturing tools are sometimes set up this way in the machine when they don’t have hydraulic compensating pushrods in the die.

I already thought about adjusting the hinges with the arrows, but that can't be the solution, right?

Any ideas?

Are these the 153-degree hinges specifically for the cabinet with electrical appliances? Visually, they look like the regular 125-degree hinges. That alone could already be the reason, since NOT only the opening angle is different...

The hinges are the right ones.

A picture showing the whole view is sometimes also helpful.

They are the INTEGRAL 95° hinges.
