A:AnswerWow! We love hearing that your microwave lasted for 35 years. We're happy to let you know that all of our 30" over the range models will replace your unit. You will need to use the hardware and brackets that come with the new unit, as they are specific. If you're looking for any particular feature, please let us know.
A:AnswerThanks for letting us know. We recommend scheduling a service appointment for one of our qualified technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737.
A:AnswerThank you for taking the time to reach out to us with your question. The compatible mounting kit for this modelJVM3160RF3SS microwave is part WB01X10298. The compatible mounting plate if needed is part WB56X11009. This is specific to each model and will come with your unit. We would suggest checking the quick specs guide and installation instructions for details on measurements to see if this would be compatible with your space.
A:AnswerThis model JVM3160DFBB can be set up to vent externally and will work great as a replacement for your old model JVM1540DM1BB. For more information about venting, we would recommend referring to the installation instructions that can be found on the website.
A:AnswerAll of our current over-the-range microwaves, including convection, Advantium ovens, vent hoods, and telescopic downdraft vents can be installed over gas ranges and cooktops, with a combined surface burner BTU rating of approximately 65,000 BTUs or less. As long as the 66" minimum clearance from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no issues.
A:AnswerManufacturing facilities (plant sites, where appliances are made) can and do change from time to time because GE Appliances continues to seek the most efficient manufacturing processes available. We make products all over the world for a Global marketplace. Therefore, your best source for manufacturing location is the packaging/product itself.
A:AnswerAll our 30” over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, so any of our current 30” over-the-range models will work as a replacement. We have multiple models that may be a good fit for you, including JVM6175DKBB. Please note that you should use the mounting bracket and hardware that comes with the new microwave, rather than trying to use an old bracket or hardware; the design can change over time and is model-specific, so we can’t speak to the compatibility and reliability if you use old hardware. Thank you for your loyalty to our brand!
A:AnswerThis microwave has an Automatic Vent fan feature. It turns on when it senses that the heat is too high. If you'd like, you can view more on this on page 16 of the Use and Care manual.
A:AnswerThank you for checking with us! A new mounting bracket will be included with all microwaves. We recommended always using the new bracket when installing a new microwave.
A:AnswerAll of our 30" over-the-range microwaves are designed to easily replace one another. We have models PVM9179SKSS and JVM3162RJSS that would be great replacements for your current unit. Please know that you will need to use the hardware and brackets that come with the new unit.
A:AnswerThis would be a great replacement for your current unit. Please know that you will need to use the hardware and brackets that come with your new microwave.
A:AnswerWe appreciate your loyalty to our brand! We aren’t seeing an exact match for the model number you listed, but if JVM1540SN1SS is your model we can advise all our 30” over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width. As a result, any of our current 30” over-the-range models will work as a replacement. We have various models available, including PVM9215SKSS and PVM9179SRSS. We do not recommend using the same brackets; the new mounting bracket and other hardware that comes with the new microwave should be used, as the design of the hardware may be updated over time and we cannot guarantee the safety and reliability of using older hardware with your new model.
A:AnswerThis model is a great replacement for your current microwave. All of our 30" over-the-range microwaves replace each other. You will need to use the hardware and brackets that come with your new model.
