Some appliances deserve a fight to keep, and a 27 inch speed oven is one. The HMC87151UC, now discontinued, was an 800 Series unit for a 27 inch opening at 26 3/4 inches wide. It held 1.6 cu ft, drew 1,920 watts, and offered a combi microwave constant mode along with convection, broil and warm.
This format is far rarer than the 30 inch one, because the large majority of today’s built-ins are designed for the wider cutout. Replacement choices are narrow, and an owner of a 27 inch column who loses the appliance may find that the only alternative is a new cabinet.
That is the case for repair. On a visit, we check the tight trim clearance, which can restrict the cooling exhaust, plus the hinge and interlock wear that daily use brings. If a filler trim is ever considered, it must preserve the ventilation the appliance needs, something to decide only with the published cutout requirements in hand.
The majority of today's built-in cooking appliances are sized for 30 inch openings, so a 27 inch column usually means either a thin selection or carpentry to widen the opening.
Sometimes, but the filler must leave the appliance its ventilation. Settle it with the published cutout requirements in front of you instead of judging by eye, since cooling air has to escape.
Often, given how few replacements fit. If the repair is reasonable, it spares you a cabinet rebuild, and we give you the price in writing before starting.
