A:AnswerI purchased a 2023 JVM3160DFBB (version JVM3160DF9BB) to replace a 2014 JVM3160DFBB (JVM3160DF2BB). The bracket is different (only one horizontal bracket as opposed to a 3-sided bracket with the earlier version). And the newer version only uses two mounting bolts at the top instead of three. A new hole will need to be drilled for one of the upper mounting bolts. The new bracket has two bottom tabs instead of 4, but the old bracket appears reusable after bending down the two interior tabs.
A:AnswerHi SueJ009- We certainly appreciate your loyalty and for the opportunity to provide assistance with a replacement microwave. They are basically the same size (WxHxD) (in.) 29 7/8 in x 16 13/32 in x 15 1/4 in / JVM6175SKSS: 29 7/8 in x 16 5/16 in x 15 9/16 in). In fact, all GE 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. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions. 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’re glad to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Enjoy! Sue
A:AnswerI also have a GE OTR Microwave JVM3160RF8SS that has failed twice and does not heat... first time was a door Limit Switch- really piece of junk GE should reimburse failing after less than two years...

A:AnswerJVM3160DFWW - I just bought this model and the exhaust can be either top or rear exit. I replaced a 10 year old Frigidaire unit and the rear exit exhaust matched up without issues. This model did come setup for top exit from the factory, so you have to remove and rotate the exhaust motor and remove 2 metal tabs to accommodate for a rear exit exhaust setup. See Pic
