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:AnswerHi,
Good question! We're grateful for your interest and we'd love to help. We found that this model will come with a mounting plate for installation. Let us know if you have any further questions. Take care!

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.
A:AnswerHello there! Thanks for your question and loyalty to our microwaves. Can you please reach out to us at our social pages with the model number of your current unit and the full model number of the unit you are wanting to replace it with? We look forward to hearing from you. Stay safe! Emily@GEA
A:AnswerHi there - Thanks for this question! Our microwaves continue to be manufactured with as quiet an operation as possible. You will hear a humming sounds during operation or change in the blower sound at power levels other than high. It also features a two-speed, 300-CFM venting system to removes smoke, steam and odor from the kitchen. The sound can be compared to a standard range vent hood. If you're able, please send us a video of the vent running on social media and we'll be glad to check this out for you. We hope this helps! -Mikayla@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, thanks for your question! 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. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy! - NOTE: 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 believe that any of the following models would make for a lovely replacement: JVM3160DFBB, JVM6172DKBB, JVM6175DKBB, JNM3184DPBB, PVM9179DKBB. Hope this helps! Stay safe. -Michael@GEA
