Frigidaire - 27'' Microwave Trim Kit - Stainless Steel

Good day, Vic! The Frigidaire 27" Microwave Trim Kit is not automatically compatible with the 1.6 Cu. Ft. 21" Built-In Microwave (FMBS227BB). Frigidaire’s microwave guidance explains that trim kits are model-specific, and the 27" and 30" trim kits are intended for compatible built-in microwave models. For the FMBS227BB, I would recommend using the trim kit specifically listed by Frigidaire as compatible with that model, rather than purchasing the 27" kit based solely on its width. Frigidaire currently lists microwave trim kits such as the MWTK27FGUD and MWTK27FGUF, but compatibility should be confirmed against the exact microwave model before ordering. In short: Please don't purchase the 27" trim kit unless the product listing specifically identifies FMBS227BB as a compatible model. The manual/Frigidaire documentation does not establish that the generic 27" kit will fit this particular 21" microwave. - Maico

Good day, Grey! According to Frigidaire’s specifications for the 27-inch Microwave Trim Kit (GMTK2768AF), the depth is 1 5/8 inches (approximately 1.63 inches). Answer: 1 5/8 inches deep. For installation, note that the cabinet/wall opening requires a minimum depth of 20 inches; the 1 5/8-inch measurement is the depth of the trim kit itself. - Maico

Hi foodguy2! Thank you for reaching out. There is no specific minimum clearance required between the microwave rough opening and cabinet doors above or below. The microwave is designed to fit flush within the cabinet cutout and be finished with the trim frame, as long as adjacent doors or hardware do not interfere with the microwave door’s operation. If installed over a wall oven, a minimum of 3 inches of clearance between the appliances is required. For safety and to ensure the installation meets all requirements and local codes, we recommend having the unit installed by a qualified or certified installer. — Reed
