Good day, Gina! The Frigidaire Professional 2.2 Cu. Ft. Built-In Microwave (model PMBS3080BF) has the following dimensions: Height: 13 5/8 inches Width: 24 3/8 inches Depth: 19 5/8 inches Your wall cabinet dimensions are 27 inches (width) x 15.75 inches (height) x 16.25 inches (depth). Based on these measurements, the PMBS3080BF microwave will fit within your cabinet's width and depth. However, the cabinet's height is 15.75 inches, which is slightly less than the microwave's height of 13 5/8 inches. It's important to note that the microwave's height includes the door and control panel. Installing the microwave in a cabinet with a height of 15.75 inches may not provide sufficient clearance for proper ventilation and door operation. Most built-in microwave installations require a minimum cabinet height of 16 inches to ensure safe and effective operation. Recommendation: To ensure the microwave operates safely and efficiently, it is advisable to have a cabinet with a minimum height of 16 inches. If modifying the cabinet is not an option, you may need to consider a countertop microwave or a different built-in model with smaller dimensions. - Maico
