A:AnswerI replaced my over the range GE microwave with sensor cooking and top exterior exhaust with JVM6175DKWW 1.7 CF OTR SENSOR MICRO OVEN. It has proven to be a great choice. The sensor cooking function works even better than the old model. But alas, the wall mounting bracket was designed differently enough to require replacing it with the new one. Also the top mounting holes are in different locations. I still installed it myself but I don't know why they had to change it. Same brand, makes no sense.
A:AnswerHi Lulu - Yes, 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. Model JVM2070BH002: Approx. Product Dimensions (WxHxD) (in.)
29 7/8 in x 16 11/32 in x 15 7/16 in / Model JVM6175BLTS: Approx. Product Dimensions (WxHxD) (in.) 29 7/8 in x 16 1/2 in x 15 in.

A:AnswerI had a similar issue which turned out to be the door being warped from heat off the stove just enough not to be able to activate the switch at the door
A:AnswerHi mpast- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! While all 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening, 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! Sue
A:AnswerDon, you need the indoor filter kit, and your going to have remove and replace the rear support bracket. And make sure you have second person to remove and put the new one in place. Good Luck Don!!

A:AnswerI’m not sure but the microwave I had was a GE and I didn’t have to change the bracket so it was easy to install. I just took the bolts out of the cabinet and tipped the old microwave out and put the new one in. FYI my old GE was 20 years old.
