The quick answer is that yes, it will fit in the same space. The longer answer is that you're going to have to do some work. I just (10/20/2023) installed a JVM3160DFWW in place of a JVM3160DF2WW that I installed in 2015. I use the outside back exhaust installation method. I was hoping I could use the same wall bracket that came with the DF2WW and top cabinet screw holes that I drilled in 2015 but no. There's only two bracket slots on the lower back of the DFWW instead of the four on the DF2WW and they're in a slightly different position. You have to use the new bracket which means drilling more holes. Instead of three top mounting nuts there are only two on the DFWW. One of the two is almost in the same position as one on the DF2WW but the other isn't close and you'll have to drill another hole in the upper cabinet. I was a little frustrated because I thought I could just remove the DF2WW and drop in the DFWW but that's not the case.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello there - We appreciate you checking in. Model JVM3160DFWW and JVM3160DF2WW are actually the same microwave; so yes, it should fit in the same space. You'll notice the only difference in the model number is the "2" - this indicates the manufacturing year for the model. We hope this is insightful! If you have any other questions, please reach out back out. All the best, Kelsey@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I really don't understand how to use controls or buttons for this microwave? Can you provide a more of an explanation on how to use the buttons or controls on this particular model of microwave. The instructions are very vague. Thank-you
