A:AnswerHello - this is Nancy at GE and we are sorry to hear that your microwave stopped working just before Thanksgiving. I am very happy to help you.
Yes, the PEB7226SFSS is a great replacement for the JEB1860SMSS. The new trim kit that you will need for a 30" cabinet is the JX7230SFSS. The new trim kit is necessary because the screw holes, ventilation and cosmetics have changed. The trim kits and microwaves have to be approved together for use. The good news is that both your old and the new trim kit require the same cabinet cut-out dimensions.
I hope this helps! Thank you for contacting GE!

A:AnswerHi Robbasti- Thanks for considering a GE Series Microwave! There are a variety of countertop microwaves available; however, only select models can be installed in a cabinet for a built-in look. To convert select GE countertop microwaves into a built-in microwave, a 27" or 30" wide trim kit will be needed. We currently do not offer a 24" trim kit. See the following link regarding built-in capable microwaves: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=23331 - Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerHello Rhonda - this is Nancy at GE Appliances. I'm sorry to hear that your microwave is no longer working and am happy to help you find a great replacement model. The cabinet cutout that your current microwave trim kit required is 16-3/4" high x 25-1/2" wide. A great replacement microwave would be the PEB7226SFSS because the trim kit for this model requires a similar cabinet cutout. You would not need to modify your cabinets. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHello JetGirl - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. The JES1145SHSS microwave does not offer an approved trim kit accessory and therefore it is not approved to be built into the cabinet. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
