A:AnswerHi John- The comparable model is GE Profile™ Series 2.2 Cu. Ft. Built-In Sensor Microwave Oven PEB7227DLBB. Trim kits are not interchangeable. It is compatible with GE® Required 27" Built-In Trim Kit JX7227DLBB and GE® Required 30" Built-In Trim Kit JX7230DLBB. We suggest to view the Quick Specs for cabinet cutout dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=PEB7227DL_R2_17.pdf - You can also view the Quick Specs for model JE2160BF03 for comparison: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=240350_je2160_bfcfsfwf_r2.pdf - We certainly appreciate your loyalty. Enjoy! Sue
A:AnswerThe link describes what GE is doing for built in microwaves. I think they should retain a Stainless model for built in installs with trim kits. The PES7227SLSS is the countertop only version and is still available.

A:AnswerHello Bill - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. Your current microwave trim kit required a cabinet cutout of 17-9/16" high x 24-1/8" wide. The PEB9159DJWW trim kit requires a cabinet cutout of 17-1/8" high x 23-1/4" wide. The PEB7227DLWW trim kit requires a cabinet cutout of 16-3/4" high x 25-1/2" wide. The PEM31DFWW trim kit requires a cabinet cutout of 15" high x 24-7/8" wide. Based on the cabinet cutout requirements, the PEB9159DJWW may be the best replacement. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
