Q: QuestionCan I replace an GE microwave model number JVM3162DJ2WW with another GE microwave JVM3162DJWW ? Notice the last 2 is missing in the replacement.

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi, there. Great question, and it's great that you are looking to replace your microwave with another GE microwave! The model is the same, but the extra 2 is an engineering code. For example, if you needed an extra part, searching for the model number that is on your microwave would allow you to see the part breakdown for your specific model. 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. - 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. We hope this information helps and we're here for any additional questions you may have. All the best!- Kianna@GEA

Q: QuestionDoes the fan automatically come on whenever the microwave is in use?

Asked 3 years ago by sage.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave and Electronic Touch Controls - Black

• A:Answer Hello- We appreciate you checking with us and are happy to help! Over-the-range microwaves have an automatic fan feature to help protect the electronic components, and also helps the cooking area get rid of excess heat. The built-in thermostat automatically turns the vent fan on if the unit is too hot, and will not turn off until the microwave is cool again. You will not be able to turn the vent fan off manually during this time. If you are cooking on your range top, we recommend turning on your vent fan. If you have any additional questions in the future, please let us know. We are always happy to help! Joyce@GEA
