Owner's manual

Product Manuals

Q: I have had this microwave for 3 years and it just went completely out. I checked the breaker and that didn’t pop. Is there a fuse in the microwave or some sort of reset

A: The exact same thing happened to my 3 year old model. Is this the life expectancy for this GE Profile model? Handyman relative thought he could replace fuse based on a YouTube video, but it turned out not to be the same model. Fuses in this model are unreachable. I really like the look of this microwave and am considering replacing it with the same model, but this time I will buy extended warranty. Last year I replaced a four year old refrigerator and a four year old washer dryer combo. I guess they just aren't making appliances with a long life span anymore.

Q: How does this vent?

A: It comes with a charcoal filter if you do not have outside access. Otherwise, standard venting. Venting requires you move direction of blowers (fairly simple) to set up either option

Q: I need a microwave with zero clearance door. My cabinets will not allow the microwave I purchased to open the door. Does G.E. Make a zero clearance door.

A: I had the same issue and apparently Frigidaire is the only manufacturer that makes zero clearance doors on microwaves.

Q: I need to replace my GE Profile model # JVM290WV001. Will this microwave fit in the same opening as the old one?

A: Hi Nana- All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions. Approximate Product Dimensions- JVM290WV001: 30"W x 15 1/2H x 14 1/4"D. Approximate Product Dimensions- PVM9005SJSS: 29 15/16"W x 17 5/16"H x 16 5/32"D. We also offer PVM9215SKSS- 29 3/4"W x 16 1/2"H x 15 1/2"D. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! SUE@GEA

Q: How do I turn on the settings lights

A: Do not buy this. I hated everything about it, but the worst part is that there is a known defect where it will break after a year. Go read the forums and you'll learn about it. When I called GE they refused to help me. Stay far away from this

Q: Where can I purchase a replacement charcoal filter for this microwave?

A: Hi- You can conveniently order JX81L Charcoal Filter online at GEApplianceparts.com- http://www.geappliances.com/ge/parts/ - Or, contact our GE Appliances Parts Team for assistance at 1-877-959-8688, Mon–Fri 8am–7pm, Sat 8:30am–5pm ET: - Thanks for choosing GE Profile! SUEatGEA

Q: Is there interior lighting during cooking?

A: Hello Pickles, Thanks so much for reaching out. Great question. The interior light does come on while it is cooking. We hope this helps. Best wishes. Mike@GEA

Q: I am replacing an older model GE Profile microwave that is 30 inches wide but also has what appears to be a 6 inch spacer module attached to fill in the 36 inch wide opening. Can I acquire a 6 inch spacer/trim module for this GE model as well?

A: Hi TRP58 - If you are replacing a 36" over-the-range microwave, many current 30" over-the-range microwaves offer an optional 36" filler kit to allow it to be installed in a 36" cut-out opening. If available, the filler kit will be listed in the product specifications. A 36" Filler Trim Kit is not available for model PVM9005SJSS. GE Profile™ Series 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9215SKSS is compatible with Optional Side Filler Panel Kit JX36DSS. Keep in touch! Sue

Very Nice Microwave - So Quiet!
We replaced a home-builder-supplied GE microwave with this one, when the fan started to act up. It looks very good with the stainless steel front and no handle. We don't miss having a handle and like the big LED clock on the front. The control panel is on the main door which looks nice but could cause issues down the road as the cables for that are visible inside, near the hinges. We'll have to keep an eye on that one. The microwave itself is super-quiet when it is running. I have to check it is even cooking, it is that quiet. The vent fan though is loud enough on the lowest setting that you definitely are aware it is running. I have not tried the fan on any other settings, other than toggling through them to turn it off. They seem very loud so still we stick with the low setting and it seems adequate for most uses. The reheat function is very good but the defrost function seemed to overcook the chicken I tried. The timer is nice as it beeps loud enough to notice but not in an obnoxious way. You do need to go over and turn it off though or it will just go on and on. The interior is easy to keep clean and so far, has not got too messy. I notice some grease between the door and the microwave frame but if we wipe this over regularly, it should not get to messy. We are very pleased with this microwave so far and other than the noisy fan settings, it is excellent.

Looks and works great
Is spacious, quiet and powerful. Everything you could ask from a microwave. Also pretty sleek looking, and matches my old GE stove. Since the door is as wide as the unit, you kind of have to step back a bit to let it swing open, but got used to it fast and no longer a bother.

Makes the kitchen look nicer
The microwave is good, functionally it's the same as most modern microwaves. We aren't using the Chef Connect feature to pair it with the oven. The unit appears much bigger than it is due to the flush door, but inside it's actually the same size as most. It looks very nice and is definitely a conversation starter as many ask questions about it and think it's much more expensive than it is. It's worth noting that the door is loud when closing. Given that it's bigger and heavier than most, it provides an authoritative thud when shutting...which some may like. It comes with a carbon filter and vents upwards, which is good for gas ranges that can't have the recirculated air pointing toward the burners. We have ours connected to vent outside, and the four speed settings are nice, although the lower settings don't seem effective so we end up using HIGH and BOOST the most. My only complaint is that the LED display is white out of the box and our GE gas range display is green. Pictures on the site show it as green but I can't figure out how to change it from white or turn off one of the redundant clocks. Overall it's a very nice microwave that impresses guests and removes the bulky handle found on most models.
