Weight is cloae to the same. I just finished replacing my JVM140K with a JVM3160DFBB and wanted to provide notes for others. 1. 140K mounting bracket slides into the chassis so if your vent clears the top ( mine did not) it will slide straight out once the 3 top screws are removed. To clear my top venting 140k, I had to loosen the vent connector and unscrew the vent panel on the chassis, then it came right out. Note 1 for my install, the power cord come out on the 3160 chassis close to the vent panel. Fortunately, I had room in my vent cabinet to reroute and make a cord size cutout to get to the plug. Note 2, back mounting bracket us U shaped while the 140k was 180 degrees the opposite. Minor but be aware. Note 3. Top mounting screws are closer to the front bit all you need to do is follow the provided template and easy. Note 4, for my install, because the mounting bracket went from n to u shape, I ran into my tile on the bottom. This was worked around by using shims for screw A and B at the top of the bracket.j
