A:AnswerHello, thank you for your question. We are sincerely sorry your microwave's door handle needs to be replaced and understand your frustration. Replacing microwave handles requires disassembly of the door, and therefore should be replaced by a service technician. Any adjustment or repair involving the microwave door needs to be followed up by a leak test to make sure of proper fit, operation, and alignment. This must be done by a qualified technician. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. If you haven't done so already, we recommend you schedule service with us by calling 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET or Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET or by visiting the "Schedule Service" link under the "Owner Support" tab on our website. -Chris@GEA

A:AnswerHi there,
We appreciate your interest in a new GE model microwave! We're more than happy to help find a replacement. We thing you would enjoy model PEB9159SJSS. This incredible model has convection cooking, comes with a cooking rack, and can function as a warming oven to keep foods warm. We hope this model is to your liking! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, we're happy to help. JVM3160DFWW also has an exhaust fan with 300 CFM compared to the 200 CFM model RVM5160DHWW has. Also,, the JVM model comes with a recirculating charcoal filter whereas the RVM model does not. We hope this helps and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA
A:AnswerHello, this is a great question! Yes, we're pleased to inform you that this microwave will fit your space. 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. We hope that's the answer you wanted to see! We appreciate your loyalty to us as well. - Guy@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, thanks for reaching out. The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters on the bottom of the unit. You can see how to remove and clean these on page 18 of your owner's manual here: https://files.bbystatic.com/MNdjrWQbMIA4KaGngiqGeA%3D%3D/5d220b7c-8bce-47fc-be7b-739fb4e6bd3a.pdf - If your microwave is set up for recirculation, you should know that the charcoal filter can only be replaced, not cleaned. You can see more about this on page 19 of the owner's manual. This is located at the top of your unit. We hope that helps! - Guy@GEA
A:AnswerHi there,
Thank you so much for your interest in a new GE microwave! We'll be happy to help find a replacement. All our over-the-range microwaves are designed to fit into a 30" cabinet opening. This makes choosing a replacement a breeze. Please note however, that you will need to use the mounting kit that comes with the model. This is because the kit is made specifically for that model. One model we are especially fond of is JVM6175DKBB. We think you would especially enjoy the melt feature. We hope you enjoy this model! Mike@GEA

A:AnswerHello. The over the range microwaves must be hung below a cabinet and attached to the wall. You cannot have it rest on your countertop. This model is taller in the rear that in the front. It has lights on the underside that need to be exposed for safety. Hope this helps and stay well. Geoff@GEA
A:AnswerI would highly recommend staying with same brand. I went from whirlpool to GE. Measurements were very very close, well found out they have different ways of attaching /mounting and I have to replace a row of tile under it, as it has 3/8 gap now.
A:AnswerRemove the exhaust hood, make sure the exhaust system isnt restricted. While mine was running it was producing almost 80dB! removing my exhaust reduced it almost to a whisper (Something in the exhaust hood was pinning the flap if using external venting).
When the exhaust is restricted it runs very loud, fan speed increases. Wish GE manuals/responses was more descriptive than saying noise while running is normal, they dont account for this simple issue.
