A:AnswerHey there,
Thanks so much for reaching out. We'll be glad to provide you with a replacement option. While this unit may be slightly bigger, model PEM31DFBB will be able to fit the same space. You will need to use the trim kit (JX830DFBB or JX827DFBB) for your space since the kits are not interchangeable. If you have any additional questions, please let us know. Stay well! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHey there,
Thanks so much for reaching out. We'll be happy to assist! While model PEM31DFBB is slightly bigger than your current model, it should fit under the same spacing. The drilling holes may not be in the same spots since it is a different hanging kit. Let us know if you have any other questions. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHey,
Thanks so much for your question. Model PEM31DF1BB is still currently in production and is the model we recommend for replacement. This model has not yet been superseded. It will fit the same cutout space and trim kit. Professional installation is always recommended, but is not required. If you have any questions, let us know anytime. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerI could not find another brand with the appropriate dimensions to replace the old GE Spacemaker PEM31S. So, I got the GE microwave that replaced the older one that I had. We had it mounted under the cabinet. The Best Buy salesman recommended two vendors to us & we bought the appropriate under cabinet mounting kit for the new microwave.
