A: I have the saame problem, have to get the flashlight in order to use the microwave
Q: does it require an external vent?
A: has both options, but default vents into the room, but you can change to vent to the back.. after knocking out 2 small precut panels.
Q: A red light on the "filter" on the display came on. Now I can't get it to turn off.
A: I tried everything I could find online to help me with this problem. Then I tried one more time by pushing only the word “reset”. I did not push the red light. It worked!
A: I just replaced my JVM3160RF3SS with what I thought was a JMV3160RFSS (notice the 3 is missing from 3SS) from Best Buy. But the model number on the actual unit is JVM3160RF6SS. So, I bought what I thought was JMV3160RFSS because I couldn't find the JMV3160RF3SS anywhere. I can tell you that with the JVM3160RF6SS the screw holes on top of the microwave don't exactly line up with the JMV3160RF3SS. I purchased what I thought was the same model I had before specifically so everything would line up and it would be an easy install. Not so fast my friend! The holes were slightly off, super frustrating.
A: Hi-this is Sue from GE. Thanks for your interest! The blower will need to be rotated for indoor (recirculating) venting. The directions are provided in the installation instructions included with the microwave. Also, the recirculating charcoal filter is included. The turntable can be turned off when using larger dishes. Model JNM3161DFBB is the same microwave except assembled for indoor (recirculating) venting. Thanks for checking with us!
Q: A thin card board is attached (right side)inside JVM3160 over the Range Microwave
A: Hi AGST- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your purchase! The cardboard cover on the right top or side wall of the microwave interior is there by design. The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. Thanks for checking with us!
Q: Can you use this microwave over the stove without an outside venting system?
A: Yes, you can either vent back into the room or through an external vent. I vented internally. The configuration was easy, hardest part was installing the filter. It took a bit of finesse to remove the panel from the front of the unit.
Q: Which is cheaper - Buy a new magnetron tube or buy a new unit?
A: Magnetron priced at time my 11 yr old unit expired was $168.00. BestBuy GE unit was $200.00.

This microwave has all the necessary features, without all the bells and whistles. The microwave looks very nice hanging above our new GE range!

So far so good! Purchased for the wife for Christmas as a replacement for a Goldstar MW that we purchased from BB over 20 years ago. Was pleasantly suprised after removing the old unit that the mounting plate and holes in the cabinet all matched up perfectly so all we had to do was simply put the GE in place. Took more time to unpack it than to actually install it! Works as it should and only time will tell if it lasts as long as the old one did!
