“I have a GE over the range microwave that has stopped heating things up. The model number is JVM1540SM5SS. I'm looking at replacing it with another GE unit model # JVM3160RFSS. Any changes required to venting, mounting hardware etc?”

Hi Joe - We are sorry to hear your microwave is not heating and appreciate your loyalty! While the venting is the same, 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, if installed for recirculating (non-vent), Charcoal Filter JX81L is included.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't remember what model I replaced, it was 7 years old. I needed to drill all new holes, the 3 mounting & the electrical cord. I was not too happy. this was my 3rd GE Unit & the 2nd replacement unit every thing matched up and it was as easy as 1, 2, 3. This one was a big challenge to make sure all of the new holes lined up.
