Q: Is there a way to lower the brightness of the clock on the microwave display

A: I had the same issue. The display on my HB microwave was so bright it lit up the room! I tried to find a display adjustment, but it was nonexistent. So, I took a small piece of painters' tape and simply covered that panel. I can see what is says but it no longer blinds me by the light!

Q: Does this model vent through the top?

A: Hi Susan- The microwave is shipped from the factory to vent outdoors out the top (vertically), but can also be vented out the rear (horizontally) or recirculating (non-vent indoors). Recirculating Charcoal Filter JX81J is included for recirculating vent option. Check out the Installation Instructions online for complete details: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Thanks for considering GE. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA

Q: Does this microwave include a light underneath?

A: Hi UncleCrusty- Yes, the microwave is equipped with Halogen Cooktop Lighting (Bright/Night/Off) and 2-Speed, 300-CFM Exhaust Fan to remove smoke, steam and odors. Check out our double-oven ranges that allow you to cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time- GE® 30" Free-Standing Electric Double Oven Convection Range JB860DJBB (JGB860DEJBB Gas). Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! SUE@GEA

Q: Does this microwave have the same installation dimensions as the JVM7150m1ss (which is discontinued) or do i need to reset the brackets

A: Hi Rick- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! 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 needed to make installation a simple process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. NOTE: When replacing an over-the-range microwave, the mounting bracket included with the new microwave should be used since the mounting bracket is specific to each model. The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used. You can view the Installation Instruction online at this link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Thanks for choosing our GE® Over-the-Range Microwave JVM6172SKSS. Enjoy! SUE@GEA

Q: I have a new JVM6172SK5SS microwave. The vent fan always come on immediately when in use, and is HUGELY noisy. The cooktop is not in use, and there is no other source of heat or steam. How can I disable the fan from always automatically starting?

A: Hi Donna - Thank you for reaching out to us. We are deeply sorry to hear this is happening. We would recommend contacting GE service to come out and take a look at the microwave to determine why this is happening. This is not a function of the microwave that can be disabled. Please call 1-800-432-2737 M-F 7am-10pm, Sat 8am-6pm, Sun 8am-6pm EST to schedule a service appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may be causing you. All our best! Vikki@GEA

Q: What GE microwave replaces JVM1750DP2WW Spacemaker

A: Hi Mark - Thanks for reaching out to us! We are sorry to hear your GE model JVM1750DP2WW needs replacing and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. JVM1750DP2WW has sensor cooking controls. We suggest GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven Model #: JVM7195DKWW and GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven Model #: JVM6175DKWW. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

Q: Can you buy a mounting kit for this microwave? If so, where? And what's the part/item#

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Nice appliance!

    So far so good. The microwave performs well and matches my GE range. The only weird thing is that the fan runs automatically when you turn on the microwave, and i haven't figured out how to turn it off.

  • Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Pretty good microwave

    Installation of the microwave was fairly easy. The door shuts loudly and definitely does not feel as sturdy as the GE Profile (10 years old) that I am replacing. The buttons are ok, but you really have to push to get them to activate. I am not in love with the new GE, but for the price point and compared to others in the same price range I feel like this was a good deal.
