“I need to replace a dead PEM31SMSS microwave with this PEM31SFSS microwave. I already have the trim kit for the PEM31SMSS (JEM31STSS), & see that it has the same interior-dimensions as the trim kit for the PEM31SFSS (JX827SFSS). Can I use the current TK?”

The answer to this question is NO- If you read the GE answer carefully you can deduce as much, but for some reason they can't bring themselves to say that. I suppose that they make much more money on trim kits than microwaves.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Clayton - GE Profile™ 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven PEM31SFSS is compatible with Built-In Kit JX827SFSS (PEM31SMSS is compatible with 27" Built-In Kit JX827SMSS). A trim kit consists of the trim frame, as well as ducts that encase and attach to the microwave inside the cabinet cut-out. It is very important to only use the trim kit designed for that model (If you are replacing a built-in countertop microwave with a newer model, you can only use the existing trim kit for the new model if the product details for both models have the same built-in kit number listed). We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you should be able to use the same trim kit. It may need to be adjusted to fit the new oven but the trim kits are made to adjust to the size you need. I just replaced my oven and it was about a half inch shorter than the old microwave, I was able to expand the height of the trim kit to cover the open space on the shelf. It looks as good as new.
