Bought this to accompany GE Profile 1.7 Cu. Ft Convection Over-the-Range microwave (model PVM9179DK3BB) to fill a 36 inch wide space. This kit does NOT fit the microwave. The kit panels are 15 5/8 inches tall whereas the microwave is 16 1/8 inches tall. The half inch wouldn't be that big of deal except for the fact it attaches at the bottom of the microwave in addition to the back. Apparently GE expects the gap to be at the top which would leave nice little voids for everyone to see. I called GE and verified this indeed was the kit DESIGNED FOR THIS MICROWAVE. GE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. This left me with the choices of returning both the microwave and the fillers or modifying the filler panels so the gap was not at the top. I elected to modify the panels as I could always return the microwave and eat the cost of the filler kit. I cut the tabs off the bottom of the filler panels leaving the panels to attach to the back of the microwave and the somewhat flimsy metal strap on top. This resolved the problem where the gap would be on top. I shouldn't have to be cutting off metal tabs to install these but it worked better than GE designed. I would not recommend except for the fact that this is better than nothing.

I needed the item and it served its purpose very well however they are about 1/3 of an inch to short and they all are so there’s a small gap at the top on each side of my microwave, the manufacturer needs to make them the same hight as the standard microwaves are.

Bought this to fill in the gap from our old 36 inch microwave. Unfortunately no one makes a 36 inch any longer. The installer did an excellent job however I thought the price was a rip off.
