[ChefDeCabinet_Expert]: Cracks above appliances often result from inadequate structural support, thermal expansion conflicts, improper appliance clearances, unsupported stone spans, or cabinet settlement. A forensic inspection should evaluate cabinet levelness, stone bearing points, appliance ventilation, and thermal movement before assigning responsibility.
