Q: QuestionI have a GE Model #JVM1540DP1BB 1.5 cu. ft. Spacemaker Microwave/over the range microwave oven. What is the newest model that will be compatible with this so that I do not have to change out the brackets and can just replace the microwave?

Asked 6 years ago by Darlene.

• A:Answer Hi Darlene - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! 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. 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. Models with similar features: GE® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM3160DFBB; GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM6172DKBB. Keep in touch! Sue

• A:Answer Hi David - Yes, the microwaves have the same dimensions. When you get your new model, you will notice an extra number on the rating plate. When the model is manufactured, these extra letters/numbers are placed on the appliance rating plate and product registration card. These letters/numbers are used to identify manufacturing specific data when the appliance is made. Should service or parts be needed, these are used as identifiers for the specific appliance. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Sue

Q: QuestionDoes this microwave measure 36” wide without any additional side panels?

Asked 6 years ago by Herb.

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

• A:Answer Hi Herb - Model is JVM3160RFSS 29 7/8" wide. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. We no longer offer a 36" wide over-the-range model. If you are replacing a 36" over-the-range microwave, many current 30" over-the-range microwaves offer an optional 36" filler kit to allow it to be installed in a 36" cut-out opening. If available, the filler kit will be listed in the product specifications. This model is not compatible with a 36" filler kit. GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM6172SKSS is compatible with Optional 36" Side Filler Panel Kit JX36CSS (sold separately). Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com - Sue
