Our over-the-range microwaves like the JVM6175SKSS will fit in the same 30" wide opening. We strongly encourage you to use the mounting bracket and hardware that will be packaged with the new microwave. As new iterations and generations of our microwaves are produced, it is always possible the new model will utilize an entirely different style of mounting bracket and the locations identified on the template for the mounting bolts could be different as well. If you'd like to investigate further, we do make the installation templates available for review on our geappliances.com site by searching using your model number. Once on the model specific page, click on the Owner Support tab to see all available literature. -Vikki@GEAppliances
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to look up the specs of your existing microwave. Simple google search should lead you to the original installation manual if you didn’t keep it. Find the original dimensions and compare to the new ones which are provided by BEST BUY and GE. However, even if the new one fits the space, it may need a different mounting plate. Mine did. I guess it would have been too easy for GE to use the same mounting bracket. Luckily, the new bracket is supplied; just a bit of measuring and drilling required. It’s easy if you are handy. If not, pay the extra and have it installed.
