A:AnswerHello Steve - Thank you for reaching out about this excellent microwave. When building this microwave into cabinetry, a trim kit is needed. This is not provided with the unit but can be purchased separately. The trim kits for model PEM31SFSS are the 27" JX827SFSS or the 30" JX830SFSS. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Glowup - Thank you for being a part of the GE Appliances family. We're sorry to hear your current microwave has seen it's last day but we'll be happy to help find a replacement. Although, it looks like you are already on the right track. Model PEM31SFSS has the same cutout installation requirements as your current JEM31SF01 unit. You will also need one of the trim kits to install, either the 27" JX827SFSS or the 30" JX830SFSS. Stay in touch! - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Traci - We are so happy to have you in the GE Appliances family and will be happy to help. Model PEM31SFSS has the same required cutout dimensions in the cabinetry as your current model. It will make a wonderful replacement in your kitchen. The trim kits for the new model are the 27" JX827SFSS or the 30" JX830SFSS. Let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Confused - We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our appliances. The model PEM31SMSS and this, PEM31SFSS unit, use the same undercabinet hardware hanging kit. However, we do recommend changing out the hardware to maintain the proper integrity. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Maria - Thank you for following up on replacing your microwave. The JX827SFSS is 27" wide from the outside edge of the trim. Both trim kits are used for the same size cutout. The distinguishing difference is the width of the sides of the trim. If this is installed above an oven, the trims are designed to match either 27 or 30 inch width ovens. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Sparkles - We're always happy to help find the best possible appliance for your kitchen. Our recommendation is model PEB7227ANDD as it requires the same cabinetry cutout as your current unit. The 30" trim kit for this replacement would be JX7230SLSS. Hope this helps. Keep in touch! - John@GEA
A:AnswerThere is only one choice, the PEM31SFSS (may also be listed as PEM31SF4SS)
There is a very small difference in the outside dimensions but the existing Trim Kit will work if you drill a couple of new holes.
A:AnswerI purchased earlier this year:
GE Model PEM31DFWW, SKU: 2557116
Product Height: 12 1/8 inches
Product Width: 24 inches
Product Depth: 12 7/8 inches
Maybe this one will fit. Works great
