Hi - Thanks for considering GE! We are sorry to hear your Frigidaire microwave needs replacing. All GE 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a standard 30" wide x 12"-13" deep cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. Model JVM3160RFSS is approximately 16 1/2"H x 29 7/8"W x 15 1/4"D. We suggest viewing the Quick Specs document at the following link for cabinet dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=340169_jvm3160rf_c3.pdf - We'd love to have you in the family! Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I installed mine myself with the help of my daughter and it was easier than expected. The width is a standard dimension and height and depth vary by model. I think it will fit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The easiest thing to do is to measure the current microwave Length, Depth & Height, But generally speaking the opening above a standard stove is 30 inches wide and the height of the upper cabinets is 18 inches above the counter top, but the microwave will extend about 1 inch below the cabinets. So standard microwaves will fit this space with no issues. The biggest issue I encountered I encountered was that I replaced my standard upper 12 inch depth cabinets with 14 inch depth cabinets. This resulted in a slight difference since the cabinets stick out 2 inches further. I placed the microwave bracket on the wall, exactly in the center, I am about 1/64 of an inch too much to the left so that the bottom of the microwave door when opening touches the bottom of the cabinet door.
