Q: QuestionI have a model PEB2060DM1WW. The magnetron is out and it is too expensive to replace so I was wondering if this microwave from Best Buy will use the existing trim kit on the unit I have now. Thank you

Asked 8 years ago by Mrdidd.

• A:Answer Hi Mrdidd- This is Sue at GE Appliances. It's nice to hear from you! We certainly appreciate your loyalty. While PEB7226DFWW is the comparable replacement model, a trim kit consists of the trim frame, as well as an upper, lower, and rear duct that attaches to and encases the microwave inside the cabinet cut-out. It is important to only use the trim kit designed for that model. PEB7226DFWW is compatible with OPTIONAL 30" BUILT-IN TRIM KIT JX7230DFWW or OPTIONAL 27" BUILT-IN TRIM KIT JX7227DFWW. The only difference between the 27" and 30" trim kit is the trim frame. If the microwave is installed over a 27" or 30" wall oven, be sure to match the trim kit width to the oven.

Q: QuestionThis seems identical to Monogram #ZEB1226SHSS. But it's almost $200.00 less. Honestly now, what gives?

Asked 8 years ago by BD.

• A:Answer There really is no difference except the front and sides are dark gray instead of black. In our case it fit an old trim set for a Profile 12 years old. The specs said it would not fit this unit but the trim set would fit the Monogram. However, It did fit. So these are the same except as noted above.

Q: QuestionI need to replace GE Profile PEB1590SM2SS. It is installed with the trim kit. What would be the replacement item. Will the same trim kit work? Was the PEB 1590 considered to be a built in.

Asked 8 years ago by PEPPER.

• A:Answer Hello PEPPER - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. Your PEB1590SM2SS convection microwave can be replaced by the new Profile #PEB9159SJSS convection microwave. However, the trim kit for the PEB9159SJSS requires a cabinet cutout of 17-1/8" high x 23-1/4" wide so the cabinet cutout you have of 18-3/4" high x 24" wide will require an adjustment. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

In addition to the PEB7226SFSS, we also offer the PEB9159SJSS which uses a trim kit that requires a 17-1/8" high x 23-1/4" wide cabinet opening, and we offer the PEM31SF which uses a trim kit that requires a cabinet opening of 15" high x 24-7/8" wide. You may want to check with your cabinetmaker to see if they can modify your current cabinet opening. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

Q: QuestionHi, My 2nd PEB1590sm2ss just died. Both units lasted a little more than 24 months. I would like to replace as economically as possible so I'm hoping I can reuse the existing trim kit. Can you tell me if my current broken microwave trim kit will work?

Asked 8 years ago by Todd.

• A:Answer Hello Todd. This is Lida with GE Appliances. Trim kits are model specific, so the old trim kit cannot be reused with the new PEB7226SFSS. The cut-outs are the same, so the new model with its trim kit will fit without modification of the cabinet. Thanks for checking.
