A:AnswerNot included with the microwave, but the instructions and materials do have these kits described and you can order or buy them. I reused the ones I had from my old microwave, they are not load bearing and don't actually do anything besides fill in the extra space. I took mine down and cleaned them while doing the install, then put them right back in.
A:AnswerI had a GE microwave that was about as old as yours. I also had the same problem -- what replaces it.
I simply googled "what is the replacement model for model number xxxxxxxxxxxxx and the one that came up was the one I bought.
I suggest thought that you do check the measurements of your current model against the measurements of the new model just to be sure as I did.

A:AnswerHello - we checked the installation instructions for this unit, and we can confirm that this microwave is not able to be installed inside (built-in style) a cabinet. Over-the-range microwaves, like this one, can become damaged from this type of installation, and we recommend checking out our built-in microwave options on our GE Appliances website for options that would work inside a cabinet. -- You can also reach out to us on social media if we can assist you with finding the right microwave for you. Have a great one. - Pablo@GEA
A:AnswerThe GE microwave is louder then the one it replaced especially with the fan on. Fortunately, I have a down draft range and do not need to use the exhaust fan.
I doubt you can adjust the motor but I would call GE to find out.
A:AnswerThanks for checking with us! All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Therefore, yes, this would make a good replacement. 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. If you have any additional questions, please reach out. We are happy to help!- Kianna@GEA
A:AnswerHi - Thank you for your interest in a new GE Appliances over-the-range microwave. We have great news! This new model will fit in the same opening as your existing model microwave. We do recommend using the mounting bracket and hardware that will be packaged with the new microwave to ensure proper installation. Please contact us again if you have additional questions. All our best! Vikki@GEA
