Q: QuestionHello, I have a modelJE2160SF03, that has died, and no longer available. What current stainless model will fit in the same space, with my current trim kit? Or, is there a trim kit available for this unit? Thanks

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello. Thanks for reaching out, though we're sorry to hear that your microwave died. We were unable to locate a model that is countertop and built-in capable available now. The new model you are looking at will make for a great replacement for a countertop, and model PEB7227DLBB could suit your needs if you need something built-in. We hope this helps, and if you have any additional questions, we are happy to help!- Kianna@GEA

Q: QuestionHow is it that the Microwave stopped working 1 year and 2 weeks after purchase when they have a 1 year warranty?

Asked 3 years ago by pinto.

• A:Answer Assume your question is rhetorical. However, I would suggest that you call GE and see if they would be willing to extend your coverage those couple of weeks. I did this with a GE dishwasher that was a month out of warranty several years ago and they did take care of it. What helped me was that I had registered the dishwasher and the 5 other GE appliances we bought at the same time and could honestly say that I was a loyal GE customer. As for this microwave, we just bought this model to replace a nearly identical (i.e. the same except for the look of the door and control panel) that broke after 14 years. No doubt that things are being made cheaper, but this technology is so mature that one breaking after a year would not be typical at all. Good luck!

Q: QuestionI have PEB7226sf2ss which seems to be on its last breath, this is stainless steel color, this model is the end of life, what can I replace it so it fits in the same place, and uses same Trim Kit

Asked 4 years ago by ManSha.

• A:Answer We are sorry to hear that your microwave has reached the end of life. When replacing the microwave then the trim kit will also need to be replaced as any new microwave is not compatible with the old trim kit. The good thing is that the new microwave and new trim kit will fit in the same opening of your cabinet. The new model microwave is PEB7227ANDD and then either Trim Kit Required - JX7227SLSS (Stainless steel) for 27" wide cabinet or JX7230SLSS (Stainless steel) for 30" wide cabinet. By the way the microwave will be black and then the trim kit is stainless steel in color. Hope this helps. Geoff@GEA

We know that no matter how old an appliance is it's always a let down to see it fail so, we appreciate you reaching out to us for further assistance.

Q: QuestionThe clock doesn't seem bright on this microwave - plus the numbers are "scrunched" together. Is there any way to make the clock brighter? I have a GE Profile stove and the clock is perfect!

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, and are glad you feel the clock on your GE Profile stove is perfect! We do hate to hear you are dissatisfied with the clock display on the microwave. We know that may be frustrating. While there is an option to turn the clock display on or off (you can press and hold 0 for about 3 seconds to do so), there is not a way to brighten the display or space the numbers further apart. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, and will certainly send your feedback to our Microwave Design team for future review and development. If you have any other concerns or questions, we're always glad to help - best wishes! -Sarah@GEA

Q: QuestionWhat size microwave fits a 27 inch built in kit?

Asked 4 years ago by Mom.

• A:Answer Hi, Thanks for your interest in our microwaves, we're happy to help. Our 27" trim kits are model specific and not cross compatible. Model JES2051DNWW is not able to be built in with a trim kit since it is designed for countertop use only. You may want to consider PEB7227ANDD, which is built-in compatible and has very similar dimensions. The optional stainless steel trim kits for this model are JX7227SLSS (27") and JX7230SLSS (30"). We hope this helps you find the perfect new microwave for your home! - Sharon@GEA
