Installation of trim kit

Has to be used with specific cut out. If not you will have to have different length screws for installation.

We needed this trim kit to surround our built in microwave. This trim looks nice once installed, but installation was not smooth. The holes to secure the trim to the included bracket did not line up so we had to drill extra room to extend under the trim openings. The trim face shown is plastic and not metal which was disappointing. Also we had to order two of them because the first trim face was bent in several places and was very noticeable and looked like a “second”. The last one we received, once installed, provided a nice finished appearance. Also we learned through the process of replacing our microwave, these trim kits are particular to individual microwaves and not interchangeable.
Hello Murry853, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry you have not been pleased with the craftsmanship of your microwave's trim kit. We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We have passed your comments along to our microwave design and development team for future improvements. -Chris@GEA

This trim kit, which by the way you need these new ones for any newer GE microwave....they will not work with older models, installed easily and looks really nice and neat.

THIS TRIM KIT WAS PURCHASED TO PROVIDE A BUILT IN LOOK FOR THE MICROWAVE THAT WE SELECTED. IT LOOKS VERY GOOD, AND ACCOMPLISHES WHAT WE WE LOOKING FOR. HOWEVER, IT COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE MICROWAVE, BUT YOU HAVE NO CHOICE WHEN YOU ARE USING A MICROWAVE UNDER 30" WIDE.

Cheap plastic. This is not simply a flat trim piece. There is plastic that protrudes a few inches into the cutout area in the corners so you must have the minimum dimensions for the cutout. I can’t believe that they put such a high price on what is essentially a piece of plastic. Poor value for the $. Too bad because we love the microwave it goes with.
Hello DaveK, thank you for your review. We hate to hear that you have not been pleased with your trim kit. It's not what we would expect to happen and we apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused you. We truly value you as a customer and hope that you will give us the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. -Chris@GEA

GE Microwave Frame

Was not informed that the frame was not adjustable therefore I could not use in in the custom cabinet the microwave sits in. I did use the bottom to secure it into the cabinet but needed to create my own frame.
