A:AnswerThanks for your question! We're so sorry to hear that your microwave has stopped heating and know what a pain this would be. All 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! So you are aware, your microwave is 16-13/32" x 29-7/8" x 15-1/4" (HxWxD) and the replacement you were looking at is 16-1/8" x 29-7/8" x 15-9/16" (HxWxD). If there's anything else we can help with, let us know. We're here for you. -Chris@GEA
A:AnswerThis is a great question! 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 current 30" Over-the-Range microwave models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" Over-the-Range microwave model. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to complete the installation process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave very easy. There are, however, some slight dimensional differences between these two models. Your current microwave is 16-13/32" x 29-7/8" x 15-1/4" (HxWxD) and the model you asked about is 16-1/8" x 29-7/8" x 15-9/16" (HxWxD). Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help! -Chris@GEA

A:AnswerHello- Thanks so much for checking with us. We appreciate your loyalty to our GE Appliances brand. This JVM3160RFSS will fit perfectly in your current space. This new model will have a larger cubic ft. of 1.6 vs 1.4 cubic ft. in your previous model. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA
A:AnswerYes, it should be able to convert. The unit will need to be removed and the fan in the back will need to be rotated. I would recommend getting a copy of the Installation guide, should be able to get on-line.
A:AnswerHi there, and thanks for reaching out! We appreciate you as a loyal GE consumer, and your interest in Model JVM3160EFES. We would need both full model numbers in order to compare the microwaves – does your current microwave have a model number of JVM6175EKES? If so, we can advise these two microwaves are overall similar, though there is a slight difference in cubic feet, the control panels have different layouts, etc. If you’d like to review other possible differences, we do have a comparison tool on our GE website that you can use to compare the models. You can also look them up by model numbers on our GE website if you’d like to review the features in more detail. Regarding the dimensions, we can advise they are slightly different – your current microwave has dimensions of 16 5/16 H x 29 7/8 W x 15 9/16 D, while JVM3160EFES has dimensions of 16 1/8 H x 29 7/8 W x 15 9/16 D. If your space would allow for a slight height difference while still having enough room for the necessary air clearance, the microwave may fit; otherwise, some adjustment may be necessary if you want to use this particular model. We hope this information is helpful! If you have any other concerns or questions, we are happy to offer assistance any time. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHi - Great question! The mounting bracket is included with this microwave. 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. Thanks so much for checking. -Mikayla@GEA

A:AnswerYes! I frequently have something in the microwave while timing something else on stove or in oven. Just be careful if you use the “Add 30 seconds” button… it sometimes adds 30 to the opposite of what I intended (timer instead of microwave cook time, or visa versa!)
