A:AnswerHi Lil - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Model JVM3160DFWW will fit in the same space as model JVM1430WA-001. 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. However, 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. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue

A:AnswerHi - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Model JVM3160RFSS is a comparable model. All GE 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening.

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.

The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used. We're glad to have you in the family! Sue
A:AnswerHi Penny - Thanks for considering GE! Over-the-range microwaves cannot be installed in a cabinet or cut-out space where the bottom is covered. Also, these models cannot be used on a counter or shelf. The underside is not flat and would not provide a stable surface. Additionally, there can be a heat issue, especially if the exhaust vent fan or surface lights under the unit were accidentally turned on. It can be installed under a cabinet, even if there is not a range or cooktop underneath; however, the height clearances must still be met. Over- the-range models must be installed 66" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet that the microwave attaches to. This can also be measured as 30" from the cooktop to the bottom of the cabinet it attaches to. Here's the link to the Installation Guide: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-specs/JVM3160DFCC - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
A:AnswerHi Tony - Thanks for considering GE Model JVM3160RFSS! Over- the- range models must be installed 66" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet that the microwave attaches to. This can also be measured as 30" from the cooktop to the bottom of the cabinet it attaches to. This allows about 14" from the cooktop to bottom of microwave.
