Q: QuestionWill this model be capable of replacing a Frigidaire 1.5 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave (FMV156DCC, 29 15/16”(W) x 16 1/4”(H) x 15 9/16”(D))? I would like to replace my current microwave for this one but I'm not sure if the dimensions would fit.

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi - Thanks for considering GE! We are sorry to hear your Frigidaire microwave needs replacing. All GE 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a standard 30" wide x 12"-13" deep cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. Model JVM3160RFSS is approximately 16 1/2"H x 29 7/8"W x 15 1/4"D. We suggest viewing the Quick Specs document at the following link for cabinet dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=340169_jvm3160rf_c3.pdf - We'd love to have you in the family!

Q: QuestionI have to replace GE over the counter microwave #JVM1950SR1SS. Which model will match up to the top installation holes? Thank you.

Asked 5 years ago by Carol.

The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used. We appreciate your loyalty. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are happy to help at GEAppliances.com!

Q: QuestionWhat kind of filter does this microwave use? And where is the filter located?

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, If you are making your unit recirculating instead of venting externally, you would use a charcoal filter. One is supplied upon delivery. However, when you need to purchase a new one, the part number for that filter is as follows: WB02X11550. The filter is located behind the grill at the top of the opening of the microwave, once the door has been opened. For a diagram that should help clear things up and directions on how to remove and replace the filter, take a look at pg. 15 of your Owner's Manual. You can view that document here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40669-6.PDF - We hope that this helped!
