Thermador doesn't make one, but we found the GE JEB1860SM1SS from Home Depot fit perfectly. For only $259. The repair to fix our Thermador was $618. It was only 5 years old. I couldn't believe it already went out. I won't be buying anymore Thermador appliances.

    thank you, this was our problem and a great solution. Thermador was very unhelful and I won't use them again. Had problems with our $5000 Thermador oven at 6 yrs. too and they were not helpful there either, basically if you buy anything Thermador you'll have to replace it after 6 years.

    I aslo have the (now discontinued) Thermador built- in microwave model number MBBS/01 as well with the original coordinating 27 inch trim kit. Because Thermador does not make a compatilble replacement, Thermador customer service is telling me I need to replace the discontinued microwave and trim kit, along with my cabinetry which sounds crazy.

    Is the GE JEB1860SMSS microwave compatible with the 27 inch trim kit for the discontinued Thermador MBBS/01? If so, that would be fantastic.

    Hello! Did you ever get an answer to this? I have the same problem and I want to order the GE but I don't think the trim kit will fit it. Any suggestions?

I replaced my short-life Thermador MBBS with a GE JEB1860SMSS. Perfect fit, nothing to change. Trim fits without any modification. Looks like it was built to fit right above the Thermador warming draw and the oven below the drawer.

I thank whomever on FixYa made the entry that vectored me to the GE JEB1860SMSS. I worried about slight differences in the width measurement, but found it fit perfectly into the vacated space. Saved a lot of money. What a relief!

I have repaired my Thermador microwave MBBS twice now both times repairing the plate inside of the mmicrowave where it has popped and sparked. Last week it popped and sparked so much that it is now burnt out. Instead of repairing, i want to replace with the GE module recommended. When i look it up, it says it is a "Kit" That is the full microwave, correct?

I just successfully replaced a Thermadore MBBS microwave with an LG Model #LMC2075ST (Lowes stock number 728040). It was close to a perfect fit into the Thermadore trim kit and attachments, and very easy install. The LG was only $169 on sale at Lowes, and is, by far, a superior microwave to the old MBBS model.

Replacement or fix

just replaced our 6 year old Thermador MBBS ($750) with a GE JES2051SNSS from Home Depot ($179). The bottom guide piece from the Thermador bolted right on the bottom of the GE and positioned the new unit so the front trim piece fit perfectly.

My thermador mbbs needs to be replaced, but is part of the 3 in one built in wall unit. Does anyone have any new or recent advice on the closest match?? Help! Our $50 micro at our office is 8 yrs old and...

How old is the wall unit? Sometimes it may be easier to repair than to find a replacement, and microwaves are fairly easy to fix.

Let me know if you want to diagnose what could be wrong and repair.

I need to buy a new MBBS Thermador Microwave

I spent the better part of three days trying to find a microwave that will fit and it's hard because so many are on line only. Last night I successfully installed the 2.2 cu. ft. GE profile counter top unit with inverter technology. The unit is an exact match, the Thermador even fits in the GE box with the styrofoam! I installed the venting materials for the side and rear vents and the platform at the bottom. I put the clips and decorative molding on and it's perfect! I found it in stock at Lowe's for $198. I took me about 45 minutes total to install. If I can do it, anyone can - 48 year old mom with 5 kids!
