A:AnswerHi- We are sorry to hear your microwave is not heating and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. If the microwave runs but is not heating, it could be one of many components. Make sure the “Timer” function was not inadvertently used. Check to ensure the door is closed firmly. Close it firmly, but do not slam. This confirms the engagement of the door's safety mechanisms. Reset the electronics by unplugging or by turning off power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. For safety reasons, we offer no do-it-yourself repair advice on microwave ovens due to an internal high voltage capacitor (can hold a high voltage charge even after it has been unplugged). Special equipment is generally needed to make a diagnosis. If you would like to schedule a service appointment, please contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or schedule a service appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm?ICID=GEARsupportflyout-service - Also, GE® 1.7 Cu.

A:AnswerHi mkamalich - Yes, to clean the grease filter, soak and then swish it around in hot water
and detergent. Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing. If the microwave is converted to recirculating and not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter (JX81J included) that helps remove smoke and odors. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced every 6 months or when the filter replacement LED is on. You'll love your choice. SENSOR COOKING CONTROLS automatically sense humidity from foods and adjust time and power for delicious cooking results. You may want to pair with a double oven range that allows you to cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time; GE® 30" Free-Standing Electric Double Oven Convection Range JB860DJBB or GE® 30" Free-Standing Gas Double Oven Convection Range JGB860DEJBB. We hope this is helpful. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerI took old mount off and installed without and worked great.This will take two people to install.The other person will have to feed cord into the hole to be plugged in.
A:AnswerHi Spacing- Thanks for choosing GE! Over- the-range microwaves must be installed 66" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet that the microwave/Advantium attaches to. This can also be measured as 30" from the cooktop to the bottom of the cabinet it attaches to (not from the cooktop to the bottom of the microwave). This will allow approximately 14" from the cooktop to the bottom of the microwave. We encourage you to view page 7 of the Installation Instructions at the following link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Explore our Explore Double Oven Ranges- allow you to cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/range-stove/range-buyers-guide.htm - We hope this is helpful.

A:AnswerHi Bruce- We suggest GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM6172DKBB or GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM6175DKBB. Sensor Cooking Controls sense the humidity from the food while cooking and automatically adjusts time and power for delicious cooking results. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. When replacing an over-the-range microwave, the mounting bracket included with the new microwave should be used since the mounting bracket is specific to each model. The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerHi Bev- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! The comparable model is our GE® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven JVM3160DFWW. It can be converted to recirculating venting (non-vent indoors). We also offer GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven with Recirculating Venting JNM7196DKWW. This model features sensor cooking controls (senses humidity from foods while cooking and automatically adjusts time and power) and dark gray, enamel interior with Steam Clean option.
