Eric, I agree you can see things behind the stove by removing the drawer.

Out of hundreds of stoves I have tested by exerting light pressure on the door AND the front lip together, I have never damaged a stove.

You need to visually impact the buyer by showing them how easy this can happen. They are usually very surprised when the stove almost tips completely over. Almost all of the pressure I exert is on the front upper lip of the stove, and very little on the door. The door needs to be able to support the weight of loaded pans at least. I exert a lot less presssure than that.

Although I have never damaged a stove by tipping, I have had some drawers that would not go back together, or were broken to begin with.
I generally do not disassemble things for this reason. You almost always get blamed even if you didn't break it.
