Q: QuestionMy wonderful GE microwave JEB1860SM2SS is 20 years old, is used daily with no problems. However, the back edge is cracked and has some holes where the back edge touches the floor. Is it unsafe?

Asked 4 years ago by Calif38.

• A:Answer Hello there - Thanks for reaching out. We hate to hear that your 20 years old microwave is cracked. In the event of a hole in the microwave’s cavity wall, the damage is non-repairable and you should discontinue use of the product. Arcing may cause a hole to occur and, subsequently, additional arcing may occur when the microwave is used. If there is a hole in the microwave interior, we recommend that the microwave be replaced. We're very glad that you checked! -Mikayla@GEA

Q: QuestionReplacing a 18 yr old GE Model: JVM165OBB microwave that came with the house. Will the JVM3160RFSS Fit into the same over the range space? Thanks for your help!

Asked 4 years ago by Simon.

• A:Answer Hello there - Thanks for reaching out, we're happy to help! We believe this model will make a fantastic replacement. 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. Thanks so much for checking. -Mikayla@GEA

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between 3160 and 3161 (e.g., JVM3160DFWW vs JVM3161DFWW)

Asked 4 years ago by gehauser.

• A:Answer Great question! Microwave models JVM3160DFWW and JVM3160DF1WW are the same model. The extra digit just adds some additional information to the model, much like when you add the area code to your local phone number. These letters/numbers are used to identify manufacturing specific data when the appliance is made. Should service or parts be needed, these are used as identifiers for the specific appliance. Thanks so much for checking! -Mikayla@GEA
