Hi there, valued consumer! Your cabinet is 24" wide, but the trim kit for your Frigidaire Gallery built-in microwave is 27" wide, so it won’t fit properly as-is. Here’s what you can consider: - Custom trim: Yes, having a custom trim made or modified by an installer is often the best solution when the official trim kit is wider than your cabinet. The installer can either trim down the existing kit or create a new frame that fits your 24" opening perfectly. - Alternative options: Sometimes, you can find universal or aftermarket trim kits designed for smaller openings, but that depends on availability and your microwave model compatibility. - Without a trim kit: Some people install built-in microwaves without the trim kit and just rely on the microwave's own finish and careful installation, but that may look less polished and could affect ventilation or stability. Check with your installer about customizing the trim to fit your cabinet width safely and aesthetically. It’s usually worth it for a clean, professional look. - Maico
