Q: Questionnoise levelWhat is the noise level for the venting fan?

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer On low speed the vent fan has a fairly low noise level. It is much noisier when used on the high speed. I have found the low speed to be sufficient for removing steam, etc. when using the stove top.

Q: Questionis there a way to limit the endless timer signal?The timer signal is endless. It will not cease after a reasonable period of time. I have to stop whatever I'm doing wherever I am in the house and go to the kitchen to stop the timer.

Q: QuestionWhere is the air exahust expelled?Where is the air exhaust expelled? Most microwaves have angled vents on top that blow the air out in front of the microwave, but I don't see them on this model (or most GE model pics for that matter).

Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black

• A:Answer I have the recirculating exhaust. it comes out the top and exits along the openings (crevices) along the body of the microwave. If you use the external exhaust option, you need a vent hole to the outside of the house. Note that the fans are rotated differently for the two options. Good luck and happy heating.

Q: QuestionI need to replace an over-the-range GE JVM1870 -- it seems that this will clearly fit in the same opening, but will the exhaust vent (to the outside) also line up? I'm trying to make the switch as easy as possible.

Asked 1 year ago by Mikexw.

• A:Answer The venting of your current unit and this unit are the same. All of our 30" over-the-range microwaves are designed to replace each other. You will need to use the hardware and brackets that come with your new microwave, as they are model-specific. We appreciate you choosing GE Appliances once again!

Q: QuestionThis GE is very noisy, is the top near the door (right behind the door, front of microwave) left open or I miss the cover? I could not find the picture from the top and not found the info from the booklet that came with the item.

Asked 2 years ago by Daisy.

• A:Answer Mine is not open. I think you are missing a plate that fits right behind the door on the main body. I runs the length of the micro from right to left.

Q: QuestionPlease explain the differences between GE model JVM3160DF4WW which just broke after 3 years with our replacement JVM3160DFWW (the only difference in the model number is the number 4 on the old model between the F and W.). Are there any differences.?

Asked 3 years ago by 718kw.

• A:Answer Hello, that's a great question! We apologize for any confusion. The model is the same, but the extra 4 is an engineering code. For example, if you needed an extra part, searching for the model number that is on your microwave would allow you to see the part breakdown for your specific model. We hope this helps, and should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us!- Kianna@GEA
