I have a GE Microwave that is 5 yrs old and stopped heating and no turn table. The Model number: JVM1540LM5CS. I'd like to find a suitable replacement that will be cost effective and require minimal effort to install. Is this model a good replacement? null

So far, so good, but we've only had it for a week or two. After reading your note, we'll keep our fingers crossed in a few years.

Hi Brian- We are sorry to hear of this unfortunate experience. Yes, GE® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM3160RFSS is a great choice. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. Thanks for checking with us! SUE@GEA

I believe definitely so - this unit is slightly larger in capacity and power. Was simple to install, with the normal caveats that you may have to take off and replace the existing wall-mount plate (mine was a replacement for an old KitchenAid) and I also had to cut a small hole in the cabinet because the power cord was in a different place. Best to have a second person assist to lift and put into place.
