Q: QuestionWhich GE microwave is equivalent to my old GE JVM1440WD? Also, what is the height requirement from stove to bottom of microwave? Thanks.

Asked 5 years ago by Tumi.

• A:Answer Hi Tumi - It's nice to hear from you! We are sorry to hear your GE microwave model JVM1440WD (Dimensions: 16 1/2 H x 29 7/8 W x 14 5/16 D) needs replacing and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. All GE 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide x 12" deep (min.) cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement. Model JVM6172DKWW is a great choice (Dimensions: 16 5/16 H x 29 7/8 W x 15 9/16 D). It has Convenience Cooking Controls similar to your current model (Popcorn, Beverage, Potato, Melt, Reheat, Defrost). Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com! Sue

• A:Answer Hi Debbie - 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 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. Also, all models are designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation: A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct). B. Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct). C. Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless). Select the type of ventilation required for your installation. We suggest comparable models with sensor cooking controls: GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM6175DKWW; GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM7195DKWW. Model JVM7195DKWW has a dark gray, easy-clean enamel interior with Steam Clean option.

Q: QuestionWe just purchased a JVM6172dkww and installed it 3 days ago. It buzzes loudly when it's running. How do we know if its defective or not without either calling a GE techician for a $128 service call or un installing it and replacing it?

Asked 5 years ago by cvgirl.

• A:Answer Hi there, We're terribly sorry to hear your brand new microwave is making a buzzing noise when running. We know that must be extremely upsetting! If your microwave is making arcing, sparking, popping, or other electrical sounds: Using metal or metal-trimmed cooking utensils in the microwave causes arcing in a microwave. The Owner's Manual will offer recommendations on the correct utensils to use. Popping sounds are usually caused by the food item being cooked in the microwave. Food items with a higher fat content will pop and sizzle as they cook. Covering the container will reduce this. Noises can also be heard when cooking foods with tight membranes such as potatoes. Pierce the skin of potatoes before cooking. If the popping noise is electrical or mechanical in sound, we recommend contacting service. Stay well! Mike@GEA

• A:Answer Hi there, thanks for reaching out. This model is not designed to be built into surrounding cabinetry. It is only meant to be installed on a countertop. If you have further questions about installation, or if you need help shopping for a model that can be built in, we'd recommend reach out to Best Buy to see if they can help! All the best. -MS
