Q: QuestionWe have GE Spacesaver II Model J EM25GV 001. It has served us well for 25 years. It is a countertop model that the builder mounted. What is the model we would need to replace it with? We were looking at PEM31DFBB. Would that work?

Asked 4 years ago by Kathy.

• A:Answer Hi Kathy, thanks for your question! We're happy to hear that your old microwave served you so well for so long! The model PEM31DFBB that you've been looking at would make for a nice replacement. If you're wanting to built this unit into surrounding cabinetry, you would need one of the following trim kits: JX827DFBB or JX830DFBB. If you're wanting to hang this microwave under your cabinets, you would need the following hanging kit: JXA019K. We hope that this helps and that you're staying safe. All the best. -Michael

Q: QuestionWe want to purchase PEM31SFSS GE profile microwave. Cabinet opening is 25” by13”. Which trim kit should we order.

Asked 4 years ago by Dee.

• A:Answer Hello Dee - Thank you for reaching out about this excellent microwave. We are happy to help find the best option for you. The cutout opening will help determine the microwave that will fit. Model PEM31SFSS requires a 25" wide and 15" height. The trim kit is an accessory that is required to build this in. Both the 27" and 30" kits will fit the same size cutout. To determine which kit you need, measure your current kit's outer width or the oven it will be installed above. The 27" kit is made to be the same outer width as our 27" wall ovens and likewise with the 30" trim kits and ovens. You can find the 27" trim kit here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/27-built-in-trim-kit-for-select-ge-microwaves-stainless-steel/9404127.p?skuId=9404127 The 30" kit here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/30-built-in-trim-kit-for-select-ge-microwaves-stainless-steel/4395303.p?skuId=4395303 Thanks! - JB

Q: Questionwe currently have a GE monogram ZEM200, built in. Will the Profile series 1.1 cu ft fit the same cavity space HWD 15, x 24 3/4 x 14 and will it require a new trim kit?

Asked 4 years ago by Riley.

• A:Answer This microwave is a bit smaller than your ZEM200. It's a lower profile but just a tad shorter than your 24 3/4" current microwave. I don't know about the trim kit but given your current built in measurements, I believe that a kit will be necessary. Good luck. I love this microwave, it fits nicely in my pantry.

Q: QuestionIf I want to put this microwave into a cabinet with a door on it, do I need to give 2" of clearance on the left & right sides of the microwave? Do I need to leave any space behind for the plug? Or is that already included in the 12 7/8" deep dimension?

Asked 4 years ago by SailorChick.

• A:Answer I don't know why you would need to have a 2" clearance on either side other than so the unit doesn't get too hot? With the door to the micro completely open it still maintains it's exact measurement. If that makes any sense. Anyway, the 12 7/8" measurement does not include the plug. The microwave including the plug takes up about 14" on the shelf. Good luck. I love this microwave. It's sleek and clean looking and fits nicely in my pantry shelf which is 16" deep.

Q: QuestionI need to replace my GE Monogram JVM1190SY. Please let me know the best options. Will it fit or is there a kit that I need too? Thank you

Asked 4 years ago by Stack.

• A:Answer I cannot speak to the individual model numbers, but I believe all GE undercounter units are similar size. We replaced a 20 year old one that went bad with one of the only undercounter ones made. We did not need a new installation kit. The brackets from the first worked fine. I did need to drill a new home in one of the brackets as hole for one of the screws on the new unit was 1 inch over.

Q: QuestionI have a GE JEM315F01. I need a replacement with the same dimensions. 24 wide 13 deep 11 high HELP

Asked 4 years ago by RCS.

• A:Answer GE only makes 2 microwaves that are mounted in a cabinet with a trim kit. The less expensive one is not strong enough or deep enough. The expensive one is smaller and may leave a gap in your cabinet between the cabinet and the trim kit since it is smaller. I ended up purchasing a Whirlpool microwave that is the same size and worked with the old GE mounting kit. You will have to modify the old mounting kit to make it work. The Whirlpool microwave does have a mounting kit but it is on back order.

Q: QuestionI have a GE microwave Model Number PEM31SM4SS installed under a cabinet. I want to replace this with the GE Profile microwave Model Number PEM31SFSS. My question is can I use the same hanging kit I have to install the new microwave or do I need a new kit.

Asked 4 years ago by ocdpete.

• A:Answer I cannot speak to your specific model number, but I just replaced a 20 year old GE with a new one. The two steel brackets inside the cabinet worked fine. Did not need any new mounting kit. Needed to drill one hole in the bracket where a screw did not line up. I believe GE makes these so the screws are in the same alignment and position on most models.

Q: Questiondoes the turntable come out so a larger dish can be heated without the turntable ?

Asked 4 years ago by connie.

• A:Answer The turntable dish does come out for cleaning, but it is designed to fit over the roating central element on the floor of the oven. The instructions say the dish needs to be there when using the oven, so, no you cannot heat things without it. Anyway, a larger dish would not fit in this small oven--get a larger oven if you want to do that.
