Q: QuestionI just used this new microwave for the first time but the following day the time was not displaying properly. I unplugged and replugged and it’s displaying 80:00 and the buttons don’t function. Did I get a lemon? Am I missing something? Do I reset it?

Q: QuestionCorrection to previous question We are purchasing wmc30516hz Looking for comparable trim kit for our microwave shelf H18” W27” Thanks!!

Asked 6 years ago by Pf.

• A:Answer Try the KitchenAid MK2167 trim kit for their model KMCS1016GSS. Whirlpool makes KitchenAid so it's the exact same unit except for the front face design and the price, of course.

Q: QuestionWe hope to purchase Wmc30516hz. Trying to find a comparable trim kit for our microwave shelf opening H 15 1/2 W 25 1/2 Appreciate guidance

Asked 6 years ago by PF.

• A:Answer The generic MK2167 trim kit BestBuy sells is plastic with a foil-thick veneer of stainless steel on the front. It does require an opening of 17 1/8", and enlarging the opening is not a job for the faint-hearted or unskilled. Furthermore, it doesn't fit well and has a significant amount of open space around the oven. Despite installing the included support rails using factory-drilled mounting holes, our oven does not sit squarely within the frame and is slightly recessed within the space, not flush with the surface. Let's just say I am far from delighted and do not recommend this trim kit, primarily for its flimsy quality. It looks and feels cheap.
