Q: QuestionDoes the convection option emit radiation /work as a microwave? Want to try to be less/free from radiation. Thank you.

Asked 2 months ago by MsKitch.

• A:Answer The JVM3160RFSS does not offer a convection option. Normal bake or convection baking does not use microwaves. Convection baking is just using a fan to move heat around the oven cavity. -Don@GEAppliances

Q: Questioncan this microwave be used on the counter instead of over the range

Asked 7 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Im sure it could be used as a countertop item. I dont recall the instructions having and specific issues. Its just designed and built with the bracketing pre installed. And then the individual installation location can dictate exhaust ventilation distribution. Being its designed for Over stove it pulls steam and vapors up theough unit and then blows them out where desired.

Q: QuestionI'm looking for a replacement microwave for GE model number VM62, manufactured in 1998. The serial number is RH 967897, what current model can I use to replace this unit? Thanks Paul

Asked 8 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer This model would make a great addition to your home. 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 current 30" Over-the-Range microwave models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" Over-the-Range microwave model. 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. -Don@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionOld model PVM1070 Will this replace that model?

Asked 9 months ago by Phayes7.

• A:Answer The new model you're considering will fit in the same space. The features and internal capacity are not the same as your older Profile model. The model number you provided is not quite correct so we are unable to provide specific differences. The cavity size of the new model is smaller and it does not offer the sensor cooking features you have enjoyed. For all new models, we recommend using the mounting bracket and hardwire that will be packaged with the new microwave. -Vikki@GEAppliances

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

• A:Answer Replacing microwave handles requires disassembly of the door, and therefore should be replaced by a service technician. Any adjustment or repair involving the microwave door needs to be followed up by a leak test to make sure of proper fit, operation, and alignment. This must be done by a qualified technician. You can schedule service online by visiting the GE Appliances website or by calling 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) M-F 8AM-8PM ET, Sat-Sun: Closed.
