A: There is a known issue with this model number jvm3160..... microwave blowing door switches and tripping the breaker when door is open and/or closed. the microwave door was manufactured incorrectly which according to the manufacture causes this issue to occur. According to the manufacture, the repair is to replace the entire door assembly, the door switches, and the switch holder. The repair cost more than buying a new microwave. And we have seen it on microwaves from three years old and newer some being one and a half years old. We have tried just replacing the door switches, didn’t work. We have tried replacing the door switches and the switch holder, didn’t work. Best bet is just to buy a new microwave and we advise buying a five year extended warranty with it. Keep in mind that about 8 to 9 years ago or so GE appliance division was bought out by HAIER appliances. All appliances, especially microwaves, even the more expensive ones, are all made with cheaper parts nowadays. So getting five years of usage out of any appliance is considered normal. I would advise to get a 5 year extended warranty with any appliances you by now. so at least your appliance will be covered for five years. Stay far away from Samsung and LG appliances. You will thank me later.
Q: Can the vent fan exhaust to the exterior, or does it exhaust into the room?
A: Hello Inquirer - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. This microwave is ready to be installed as exhausting outside through the top of the unit. However, you can change the venting to be internally vented or recirculating. Instructions for changing the venting can be found in the Owner's Manual. We hope this helps!

Installed today, no reason to not be 5, yet. Ive not actually used it yet. *Nice clean look. *Easy to read panel, but not backlit. *Clock readout is a brilliant white light (doh! over my stove with a green readout! Might look to apply a smoke film to tamp it down.) *Large turntable fills the available floor space. *Surface light has 2 settings. *Has express cook (easy start) buttons . *Has a timer. *Installer adjusted vent to exhaust up/out the front top appropriately. *Two speed exhaust fan's noise seems comparable to the amout of air its putting out, though I always wonder about tech these days - can we not make highspeed fans more quiet? Is it a case of poorly designed cavitating fanblades? Or is it the motor, or a combo? *Door opens/ closes with little effort compared to my last one which is a nice change... Im not sure how I feel about the door weight... feels chinsey/cheap/too-light... we'll see. ***Interesting feature, I need to read more about: label says "Vent Fan May Start Automatically". Installation was a breeze... ALTHOUGH, because I work nights, I carefully waited to select a date a week in the future that specifically allowed for the 12-8pm timeframe. I receive a message yesterday narrowing the time to 12-4pm. I received an automated phone call yesterday confirming 12-4pm. BUT woke up to a 0900 phone call today saying they were 25min away!!!! Then looked at my phone to see an additional text reminding me to be ready 12-4pm. So I scrambled out of bed, got dressed, and cleaned up the kitchen cabinet and counter as best I could with almost 25min.
