Hello Did - Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear that your built-in microwave stopped working; we appreciate your loyalty and we are happy to help! The JVM3160DFWW is not a correct replacement as it is not a built-in model. It is an over-the-range microwave and it is not approved for in-cabinet installation. The closest currently available replacement built-in model is here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-specs/PEB9159DJWW Due to different configurations and design changes involving airflow and heat issues, new microwaves are only approved for installation with current trim kits. Here are the compatible trim kits for the model listed above. https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/JX9152DJWW https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/JX9153DJWW You will need to slightly modify the cabinet opening as we no longer offer a model with the same cutout dimensions. You can view the new model specifications here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=PEB9159DJ_R2.pdf We hope you find this information helpful! Thank you very much for checking! Olga
