- A: Answer*** 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: QuestionI need to replace GE Spacemaker XL1400, will the XL1600 fit into the space?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi 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.

- A: AnswerHi 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

- A: AnswerWe 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!

Nice-looking microwave
 I replaced a 16-year-old GE microwave. I think I got the updated version of the one I had. I’ve only had it for one day, so I can’t really comment on the quality. It is quiet and detective. What I am concerned about is that several reviewers have complained about receiving a dented microwave. Mine is also dented. I’m not convinced that the box was a new, unopened box, or that the microwave was “new“. I had a difficult time installing it, and the dent is on the rear, so I’m not going to return it, but I wonder about so many people receiving “new“ products that were dented.

Perfect Microwave for our newly updated kitchen
I love this Microwave! We remodeled our kitchen, took out some walls and added an island. Since the range was now in the island and we had fewer upper cabinets, we needed something that would work with our 12" deep uppers. Most microwave options are at least 18" deep, but this one is 12" x 12" x 24 inches. Fit fits perfectly below a 24" wide cabinet that is 12" shorter than the adjacent cabinets to produce a beautiful built-in appearance. It is amazing how well it is designed and how little difference there is in the inside space vs the huge 30" wide units that are 24" deep. The only downside is that it is 800 watts vs the 1100 watts our prior unit had. You just have to add ~15% more time to compensate. This is a fine compromise for the appearance and space savings. My wife and I love it!

GE Microwave
The microwave oven works great and it is quiet while cooking. That said, it was kind of expensive. We bought it because the size/dimensions worked for us. We also bought the under cabinet mounting kit and we paid a technician to install the microwave under our cabinet.
