QuestionI need to replace a JVM1653WD003. Is there a direct replacement that will use the same brackets that are already installed? The problem with the JVM1653 is that the door latch spring came off and I am unable to reinstall it.
Asked 2 years ago by THomas.
- Answer Your current model is 1.6 cubic ft and 1000 Watts. The mounting plate on your current model is WB56X10260 and it is no longer available to order so it wouldn't be on any of our newer models. We recommend using the hardware that comes with your new microwave. The mounting kits have changed over the years and are not interchangeable.

QuestionHELP! My GE Spacemaker JVM 133K004 over range micro-Oct 93 died. Kitchen cupboards were built around micro for even fit. I need help with replacement that won't hang low or protrude out. Current size: 29 7/8 x 15 x 13 1/2 (W-H-D).
Asked 4 years ago by Silvike27.
- Answer We purchased the GE 1.7 cuft Space Saver over-the-counter microwave (JVM6172DKWW) for the same reason. This microwave has a somewhat different position of screws than our original one. There was also some inconsistency in the installation template. However, the microwave is in and works fine.

QuestionMy microwave oven JVM6172SK5SS (Ser RR2593651) turntable has stopped rotating even though the "Turntable" switch is on. It was installed in my new house in December of 2020. 1) Is it unhealthy to use the oven without the TT rotating? 2) Can it be repaired
Asked 4 years ago by MWOTTStop.
- Answer Hello - So sorry to hear that your microwave's turntable isn't working properly and we're happy to help. Make sure the turntable is centered and seated properly. Check to make sure that there is no food or debris under the "wheels" of the turntable ring. Food can prevent the wheels from moving forward. If the above doesn't resolve the issue, we recommend scheduling service. You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-432-2737 or online on our website. Let us know if any other questions come up. Thanks! -Mikayla@GEA

Questionneed to replace GE Model JE1860SH microwave 18 inches deep,233/4 wide and 13 inch highth. What model do I purchase?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi! Thanks for reaching out. We'd be happy to help. We really think you'll like model PEB7227ANDD. While this model is dark gray, it does have several different finishes for its trim kits that you can choose from. This helps it to blend with the other appliances in your kitchen. The Stainless Steel trim kits can be found by searching for part numbers: JX7227SLSS and JX7230SLSS. The new model can only be built in, it's not recommend to install this unit on a countertop. - However, if you're wanting a countertop model, this one might be what you're looking for: PEM31SFSS. Hope this is helpful! Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

QuestionMicrowave start when I. close the door ,without touching any buttons. What could be the problem?
Asked 5 years ago by Willie.
- Answer Hi Willie, thanks for reaching out! We're sorry to hear about this, we know that this must be frustrating for you. If the microwave starts as soon as the door is closed, the microwave isn't really starting; the fan is coming on in anticipation of the unit starting. Try shutting the door firmly three times to avoid the fan sound in future use. We hope that this helps! All the best. -Michael
