The hole for our built-in Jenn-Aire microwave/oven combo is 25inches wide by 48 inches tall. I'm racking my brain trying to find a replacement that will fit the current hole. The width isn't the problem (25 inches); it's the hight. The new ones all seem to be about 42 or 43 inches tall. I did find one Jenn-Aire model that was 47.63 inches tall, but it was a 30 inch model (too wide). Is anyone aware of a model that will fit? I may end up just having to hiring a carpenter to build a matching drawer at the bottom of the hole to shrink the opening.

Thanks,
Sam
