We did this…not easily…the old base did not fit the new microwave but we needed the front few inches of the old base to keep the trim kit attached. We cut the metal plate to use just the front few inches for the trim kit. We used lumber rails cut from 4x4 to elevate the new microwave to the appropriate height in the cabinet, counter sunk the feet to keep the unit from shifting (universal kit you can purchase states you will likely have to shim to level anyway which why we opted to just adapt). So yes it’s possible, with lots of work! See photo: yes the original kitchen installers used the wrong trim color, though the original unit matched the wall oven
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello - Thanks for reaching out and being loyal to GE Appliances; we appreciate you. We'd love to help with your question. Please know our trim kits are model specific, so you would need to purchase a new compatible trim kit for your new microwave. We recommend microwave model PEB7227DLBB as it requires the same cabinet cutout dimensions as your existing unit. You may purchase trim kit JX7227DLBB 27'' or JX7230DLBB 30''. We hope this helps! Have a great day. -Shayla@GEA
