GE - 30" Trim Kit for Profile Microwaves - Black Slate

The trim kit makes the combination oven & microwave look good in the cabinet. However, after mounting exactly as the directions state, the microwave door does not swing open freely to its full capacity of 90 degrees. Instead, it opens only to about 40 degrees before it pinches against the frame of the surround kit. The swing side of the surround needs to be redesigned concave, so the ark of the door swing allows it to open completely without rubbing. I fear that over time this rubbing point will pop of the stainless steel front of the microwave. Lastly, the price of the kit is excessive for tin mounting platform and a plastic frame with a very thin stainless-steel veneer. This was the second kit sent to us as the first one came with a damaged tin platform in the sealed box. No problem requesting a replacement except for the initial 3 month wait time for the first then a 3 week wait time for the replacement.

Works great and looks great. Do your research or speak to a professional. Make sure you get the correct size microwave. One size does not fit all. This is for the built in GE microwave look and comes in two sizes depending on microwave cabinet width. Mine required the 30” size and not the 27”.

Purchased this trim kit for my GE built in microwave that also purchased from Best Buy. I actually found an open box item, so it was a great value. I was in a rush the day I picked it up. I figured I would call back to schedule the installation appointment at a later date. I took it home and to my surprise my husband installed it while I was out. That means this is an easy install! It looks great and I couldn't be happier!

I love how it looks but it was not easy to put in. The two employees at Best Buy did warn me and they were right. I had to cut out the whole bigger and I had to buy a piece of wood to lift the microwave up a little. After some time figuring out how to put the puzzle together we got it in! My house is older so I don’t think everyone will have the same issues. Just know it might take longer than 20 min.

Easy instal. Matches our pre-existing stainless GE appliances.
