A:AnswerI’m a bit of a handy man, so when I replaced my old over the stove microwave, with a new one that had a fan built in, I just hooked it up to the existing venting. …it’s little bit awkward, but I did all the necessary retrofit. …so depending on your abilities you may call someone to install it. Recently I had one installed through Best Buy because it was for a rental I own.
A:AnswerAbsolutely Not! Maytag is much better quality. This GE will be fine for about a year--until the warranty runs out. Then it will start blowing fuses in the door due to a design flaw. (Read other reviews on the blown fuses.) We finally threw it out--and went with a Whirlpool. (It was such a horrible experience that we vowed to never buy another GE appliance again.)
A:AnswerNot sure but I had a previous model and I had to drill new holes for the hanging bolts and for the power cord. Takes two people to lift into place.
A:Answerif you have a geek squad account it is well worth it as they will service all of your appliances, without a service charge if you have geek squad total.
A:AnswerThey are the same model, but with slight changes only in the mounting bar on the back wall and a missing hole for middle, front supporting screw.
A:AnswerI’ll bet you have mounting adjustments to make. I replaced my old GE with a new one that I thought was the same model. I had to reconfigure the attaching points but it was no big deal.
