We have a GE JVM1740SP1SS model that broke- does this fit in the same space and is easily replaceable with existing brackets, etc? null

Hi - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Yes, the dimensions are the same. 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. 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. Enjoy! Sue

I have the exact same model, GE JVM1740SP1SS, and also looking for a replacement that can use the existing brackets. Did you ever find such a model?

I don't know the specifics of your old model, but size wise you should be good. They are all pretty standard. More likely you will need to swap out the rear mounting bracket, and may need to drill different mounting holes in the top cabinet. Exhaust venting could require adaptation. Just swapped a GE for an old Amana.
