Hi - 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. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. 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. NOTE: 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. We're glad to have you in the family! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the same need to replace an Over-the-oven microwave. I took the exact measurements. However, when the microwave was installed , the bottom slightly overlapped the backing. Fortunately, the Best Buy technicians found a solution.If you decide to install it by yourself, I recommend you just be sure you can return it at no cost if it doesn’t fit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I recently replaced my JVM1540LM3CS with JVM3160RFSS and it was an exact size match.
