No, replaced a counter top model.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our old microwave was 25 years old, but the cutouts are apparently standard. The new one sticks out an inch or so further from the wall, and different brackets had to be installed, but otherwise it fit fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Jeff - Yes, both have the same dimensions. JVM3160DFWW offers 1000 watts (JVM1540DPWW offers 950 wattage). Check out the Quick Specs at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=340168_jvm3160df_c3.pdf - 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. 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. Also, the microwave ovens are designed for adaptation for the following three types of ventilation: 1. Outside Exhaust (Vertical – Delivered from factory in vertical position). 2. Outside Exhaust (Horizontal). Recirculating (Non-vented ductless). We certainly appreciate your loyalty. Enjoy! Sue
