Q: I am replacing a GE Profile model JE1860SB 1100 watt microwave. Which microwave models will fit in the same trim kit with a cabinet space 26 in deep? The GE trim kit opening I have is 24 x 12 7/8 in. I want to use the same trim kit.

A: *** UPDATE *** This is what the install looks like using the trim kit for the GE JE1860SB and the LG LMC2075ST microwave. Overall the fit is good. The one slight imperfection is that the LG microwave sticks out about 1/2" farther that the GE unit did, and hence is no longer perfectly flush. This could perhaps be remedied if was willing to modify the trim kit but this solution was good enough for me. As mentioned in a previous post, I did have to shim the left side (between the microwave and the trim kit stand) about 1/4".

Q: What is the replacement model for PEM31SM3SS which is built in above the counter. It includes a trim piece. Manufactured in 8/2010 serial #RT919237B Will the above model trim piece be reused? Will the existing opening need modified?

A: Looking to replace the GE Profile microwave model PEM31SM3SS - what is other brands/models or GE equivalent do you recommend - I would like to reuse the trim that is already there

Q: I need to replace GE Spacemaker XL1400, will the XL1600 fit into the space?

A: Hi Charlie- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Yes, all 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. Check out our GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM6175SKSS.

Q: Is this model the same width and height as the old JEM31SF01? Hoping to find replacement that will fit in same built in cabinet. Thanks

A: We just replaced a GE Profile JEM31 with a GE Profile PEM31. The installer didn't think it would fit and just left the unit and trim kit w/ us and said 'good luck'. However, in our case the replacement unit and trim kit fits the cabinet nicely. We used the new hardware to create rails for the PEM31 and attached the rail guides to the microwave. Easy. The chrome-looking high-quality plastic trim front actually gets screwed into the wood cabinetry around the opening for the microwave. In other words the new unit sticks out further than the JEM31 did but in our case that's also no problem. I've never installed a microwave before but this just took a few minutes. Screws were included and the directions were clear. Attaching are photos of the finished product. Good luck!

Q: I have an old GE JEM31SA 002 microwave that has failed - does not heat. What is the replacement model? It is currently installed in the wall with a fascia kit.

A: Hi DB25- The latest model is GE Profile™ Series 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven PEM31SFSS. It is compatible with GE® Optional 27" Built-In Trim Kit JX827SFSS and Optional 30" Built-In Trim Kit JX830SFSS. We suggest to view the Quick Specs for details including cutout dimensions: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=PEM31SF_EF_BM_FM_R2_17.pdf - Trim Kits are not interchangeable. A trim kit consists of the trim frame, as well as an upper, lower, and rear duct that attaches to and encases the microwave inside the cabinet cut-out. It is important to only use the trim kit designed for that model. Thanks for being part of our GE Appliances Family! SUE@GEA

Q: Is there a replacement for GE MODEL JEM31BF01. We would really appreciate your answer. It went out on us and really need one to replace it. It was installed by the builder like a built in. Thanks much, Tony

A: Hi Tony- The replacement model is GE Profile™ Series 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven PEM31DFBB. It is compatible with GE® Optional 27" Built-In Trim Kit JX827DFBB and Optional 30" Built-In Trim Kit JX830DFBB.

    Very good unit

    Our old built in microwave, a GE Profile model developed problems with the soft touch buttons and needed replacement. Because of size requirements to fit in the same space and the overall reliability of the old unit we bought this GE model as it is the replacement for our old unit. This model is very slightly wider so it fit a little more snugly and it was a little taller requiring the cabinet to be modified. It looks great installed and works very well. It is quieter than our former unit and the soft touch buttons are a little stiffer to push. The turntable is slightly smaller as well but that has not been an issue. The only complaint I may offer is the control panel is not back lit and is hard to see when the room is a little dark. Beyond that we have no other complaints and have been happy with this purchase.

    Designed For Small Spaces

    This microwave replaced a 1988 GE Space-Maker II that had been a loyal and faithful kitchen companion, I have a very small kitchen and I like the fact the old unit could be mounted under the cabinet. I was afraid I could have find a unit that would do that anymore. The GE Profile PEM31SFSS does! Very happy with the look. I had to order the hanging hardware. When the hardware arrived, I spent a number of hours trying to install the unit. It took a while, but I was happy with the result. The microwave does everything I want it to do. What more can you ask? The only thing I did not like was the price. I'm not sure why it cost so much. As far as I can tell, it does not have any features that are special, other than the size.
