Asked 6 years ago by MH.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Defrost - Black

• A:Answer Hi MH - Yes, GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM6175DKBB is a great choice. Approximate Product Dimensions (WxHxD) (in.) 29 7/8 in x 16 1/2 in x 15 in. (JVM1750DP1BB: Approximate Product Dimensions (WxHxD) (in.) 29 7/8 in x 16 1/2 in x 15 1/4 in). 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. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. We certainly appreciate your loyalty. Enjoy! Sue

Q: QuestionI have a JVM1870BF02 purchased in 2004 . I'm trying to find the closet match with similar features & more importantly in size and mounting. I was hoping to use the same wall bracket. I'm guessing I won't be so lucky with the top screws. Best choice?

Asked 8 years ago by Andy.

• A:Answer Hi Andy- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! The models with comparable features are GE Profile™ Series 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9215SKSS, GE Profile™ Series 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9005SJSS and GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM7195SKSS. 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. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. NOTE: 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. Keep in touch! SUEatGEA

Q: QuestionMy GE Microwave (JE 1540GV 002) originally made in 1996 stopped working. I certainly am happy with how long it lasted! Can you recommend a current replacement model that would work with the existing trim kit? Thank you!

Asked 4 years ago by ValZ.

• A:Answer Hello and thank you for asking. At this time there is not a direct replacement microwave and trim kit. When replacing the microwave the old trim kit is not compatible with any new model today. You will then need to replace the microwave and the built-in trim kit. You will need to modify your current cutout opening of H- 17 1/2" x 24" W. The new models would require opening of H - 17 1/8" x W 23 1/4" and the model microwave is PEB9159DJBB and then either optional 27" Built-In Kit JX9152DJBB for 27" wide cabinet or optional 30" Built-In Kit JX9153DJBB. Hope this helps. Geoff@GEA

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Defrost - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi - Thank you so much for your interest in this beautiful fingerprint resistant over-the-range microwave oven. This model offers a single 30 watt halogen bulb that sits between the two grease filters on the underside of the unit. It offers a bright and night light setting. This model offers three venting options. It can be vented to the outside through the top or back. It can also be converted to internal, recirculating venting. With this venting method, the blower is turned and a charcoal filter is installed. The air is then directed through the charcoal filter to remove odors and grease prior to be vented back into your kitchen. We recommend the charcoal filter be replaced every 6 months and this model does have a Filter Reset light to remind you to do so. We do hope you choose GE for your home. Vikki@GEA

Q: QuestionOur LVM1750SM1SS has stopped working. Which current GE model uses the same or similar mounting brackets. I am looking for an easy replacement.

Asked 5 years ago by JeffT.

• A:Answer Hi there, JeffT - Great question! We found a comparable model that we believe will make a great replacement. We suggest microwave model JVM6175YKFS. 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. Thanks for checking! -Mikayla@GEA

Q: QuestionAre there any differences between this model (JVM6175SKSS) and the JVM6175YKFS aside from the fingerprint resistant stainless steel?

Asked 5 years ago by Natalie.

Q: QuestionWe are replacing our GE Microwave JVM1750SP2SS after 8 years with this GE one, will it use the same bracket ? It's also about gas range. Nice price and we selected the standard installation since it's a replacement with the same measurements. Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by Woody.

• A:Answer Hi Woody - Thanks for reaching out to us and for your loyalty! We are sorry to hear your 8 year old GE Microwave JVM1750SP2SS is no longer working and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Also, all GE 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 your existing 30" model JVM1750SP2SS. However, 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. Thank you for making GE Appliances a part of your home! Keep in touch. Sue

Q: QuestionWe want to replace our GE Spacemaker XL microwave Model JVM1340WW002 and would like to know if Model JVM6175YKFS is the same size. Thank You!

Asked 3 years ago by Sunny.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Defrost - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer The most important dimension is the width. Sure, the height of the JVM6175 is a tee bit shorter at .3125 " compared to .5 " on the JVM1340, and the depth is a whopping 1.5625" sticking out, but it should fit if you can live with it. Other things to consider that may need modifications would be new holes for mounting screws and exhaust vent.

Q: QuestionI am trying to replace GE Profile Spacemaker® XL 1800 36" Microwave Oven Model #: JVM3670SK Does this microwave work? Are there other choices as well? This is the biggest pain!!!

Asked 3 years ago by MammaC.

• A:Answer Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reach out. All of our over the range microwaves are designed to fit in the same space. This makes choosing a replacement a breeze. However, you will need to use the mounting kit that comes with the model. This is because the kit is made specifically for that model. So yes, this microwave will work. You will also need the filler kit since our units are made for 30" openings. The filler kit will allow it to fit into 36" openings. The filler kit for this model is JX36BSS. Have a great day!

• A:Answer Hey there, we're sorry to hear your microwave needs to be replaced, but we appreciate your loyalty to us and we're happy to help. We're pleased to tell you model JVM617SSKSS will fit your space, but the new mounting bracket will need to be used with it as these are model specific.
