Q: QuestionI am looking for replacement for PVM1790SR1SS, which is no longer made. Will this model fit in the same cabinet space already cut out? Does it vent out the front or top or back?

Asked 4 years ago by MD.

• A:Answer I just purchased this microwave 3 weeks ago. It will fit in the same space as your prior. However, you will need to use the new bracket it comes with, as we tried to use the wall bracket from our old one we we’re replacing and could not. So make sure you are prepared to do the new bracket install. The vent is on the top

Q: Questionhow much to install an over the range microwave

Asked 4 years ago by rich.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black

• A:Answer I purchased for $199 the Geek protection for 1 year. I paid only $49.99 for the install. Then the nightmare begins. Although I paid for the installation, I have never been given an appointment time. It has been 8 days and no appointment time. I was told upon paying the installation fee, I would be contacted within 24 hours to schedule the installation. Yes, I was contacted and put on hold for 55 minutes. Only to try again and reached an employee in Panama who also put me on hold for 52 minutes. I hung up in both cases before the employee returned. Finally, days later a phone message instructed me to call. I called and "Sorry, the computer will not let me schedule you" The next day, I got the same automated call and I followed through again. Same story "Sorry, the computer will not let me schedule you." I drove 35 miles to the nearest store where I purchased the microwave only to sit for 1 hour while the Geek agent was placed on hold. I walked out with NO appointment time! Today is 3 days since I went in person. Unbelievably I have NOT been contacted to resolve this issue. So disappointed in what I thought BEST BUY stood for.

Q: QuestionWhat is the inside dimension of JVM3160DFCC model (1.6 cubic ft.)? Thanks!

Asked 4 years ago by Rick.

• A:Answer Inside dimensions are x 9"h x 20"w with turntable in place. Removing the turntable will give u another 3/4" in height. This is shorter than the microwave I replaced, but am not finding I even notice in my normal use.

Q: QuestionI have GE JVM1540SM5SS. It stopped turning and not heating up food. Looking to replace. What model would be a good replacement? Will this one fit? I see a slight difference in the measurement with this unit vs the current one.

Asked 5 years ago by wolfy234.

• A:Answer Hello Wolfy234 - Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your microwave; we are happy to help! We are sorry to hear that it stopped working and you have to replace it. Although we no longer make your model, we do have a variety of great new models available. We normally do not suggest an exact replacement because all of our 30" Spacemaker over-the-range microwaves are designed to be installed in the same standard upper cabinet space (30" min. width, 12" min.-13" max. depth, 66” min mounting height). The height and depth of the models may vary slightly, but any of our new models will work in your current space. The JVM3160RFSS is the most comparable currently available replacement model. We hope this helps. We appreciate your loyalty! Olga
