QuestionMy microwave is working hasn't tripped the breaker however it is no longer getting heat. After further research I see we may need to replace the magnetron and something else, however I cant figure out what kind of magnetron I need. Please help. Thanks.
Asked 6 years ago by Haileyoo.
- Answer Hi Haileyoo- We are sorry to hear your microwave is not heating and suggest to make sure the “Timer” function was not inadvertently used. Check to ensure the door is closed firmly. Close it firmly, but do not slam. This confirms the engagement of the door's safety mechanisms. Reset the microwave electronics by turning off power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. For safety reasons, we offer no do-it-yourself repair advice on microwave ovens due to an internal high voltage capacitor (can hold a high voltage charge even after it has been unplugged). Special equipment is generally needed to make a diagnosis. If the above suggestions do not solve the problem and the microwave still won't heat, we recommend contacting service. You can schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service online at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). Keep in touch! Sue

QuestionDoes the mounting hardware come with the microwave?
Asked 6 years ago by Penny.
- Answer Hi Pennykay1 - Yes, each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! Sue

QuestionHello. Does this microwave have inset hinges so it can open against a wall? My microwave and stove are flush against a wall on the left and the door has to open no wider than the unit.
Asked 6 years ago by MarH.
This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - White
- Answer My microwave has inset hinges on the left, so the door opens from the right side of the unit to the left. When the door is opened fully, it appears the door would extend past the left wall of the unit by approximately 1/4 of an inch. If you install your unit flush to the left side wall, it appears the unit's door would hit the wall by a quarter of an inch and not open fully. Hope this helps? My microwave is installed forward of the wall and therefore the door clears the wall.

QuestionHow do you turn the reset button light off for the filter.Pushing the button for three seconds or making a hard reset does not work. There is obviously a design error in the circuitry I wish GE would do something about it or replace the Microwave
Asked 6 years ago by Tony.
- Answer Hi Tony - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your microwave. If you have changed the charcoal filter and tried resetting the filter, or disconnected power to the microwave for 30 seconds, service will be needed. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. For service, please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). Again, we are sorry for this experience.

QuestionI 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?
Asked 6 years ago by joe.
- Answer 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.

QuestionCan a microwave (jvm3160rss) with no outside exhaust fan outlet to be used, can it be installed . Does it need any special set up . where does the exhaust go.
Asked 6 years ago by John.
- Answer Hi John - The microwave can be easily converted to recirculating (non-vent). Recirculating Charcoal Filter JX81L is included. Since the microwave will be converted to recirculating and not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through the disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors. The vent is located on top, just above the door.

Questionis this just plug in or hard wired
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi - The microwave comes equipped with a power cord. Requires a 120 volt individual, properly grounded branch circuit with a 3 prong grounding type receptacle, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. Over-the-range models should be on a dedicated circuit.
