Q: QuestionCan I mount this microwave using my old XL1800 bracket that's already on the wall?

Asked 7 years ago by Tone.

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

• A:Answer Hi Tone- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! 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. Also, all 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening.

Q: QuestionFUSE BLOWS WHEN OPENING DOOR

Asked 7 years ago by RICK.

• A:Answer Hi Rick - Thanks for reaching out to us. The microwave requires a 120 volt individual, properly grounded branch circuit with a 3 prong grounding type receptacle, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. Over-the-range models should be on a dedicated circuit. If properly installed, a qualified service technician is required for an accurate diagnosis. We encourage you to contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 for assistance or conveniently schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/service/ - We apologize for any inconvenience.

Q: Questionwe have a GE JVM1860BD Over the Range MW, will this one fit in the space? How about installation hookup? Will I be able to use the same bracket?

Asked 7 years ago by Stella.

• A:Answer I replaced my 16 year old GE microwave with a current GE model. I removed the old one and left the mounting bracket in place. When the installers got to my home, I asked if the existing bracket would work. They compared it to the new bracket and they were slightly different but would work. They mounted the new unit on the old bracket with no problems. The install took less than 10 minutes.

Q: QuestionI have GE JVM6175DDWW Over the Range Microwave, Manufacturer August of 2015. Won't heat. GE doesn't stand by its products like they use to. Buy new rather than fix. Is the GE-1.7 CU Ft. White Model: JVM6175DKWW its replacement?

Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi- 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.
