A:AnswerThanks for checking with us! We would need the model number for your old unit to provide the most accurate information. Please reach out to us when you have that. All the best!- KW
A:AnswerHello. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us, though we truly hate to hear you’re unhappy with the fan noise. We do expect some noise as the microwave and fan operate, but we always want to provide as peaceful an experience for you as possible, and regret any inconvenience caused. Your concern will be sent to our team for future review. You can run the vent fan at a lower level if you wish; you would press the Vent Fan option once to boost the fan speed, twice for high speed, three times for medium speed, four times for low speed and five times to turn it off completely. (Please note that you may not always be able to turn the fan off immediately – if the internal parts aren’t cool it will keep running until they are.) You can also minimize automatic fan operation by using the correct size cookware and only using high heat on the surface units when necessary. We hope this information is helpful. If you have any other concerns or questions, we're happy to assist any time. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerIf you’re still looking… I have the one you had. Mine is in slate. Works great. Never had any issues. I just did a kitchen remodel and removed all upper cabinets and went with a hood vent option over my stove. I no longer need the microwave.
A:AnswerHey there, and thanks for your interest in replacing your current microwave with another of our models! We truly appreciate you as a GE Appliances consumer, and we’re glad to advise. When you replace one of our over-the-range microwaves, you would need to use the mounting bracket that comes with the new microwave, as that bracket is model specific. The new screws, bolts and exhaust adaptor should also be used. We hope this clarifies the matter for you. We’re glad to assist any time if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for being part of our GE Appliances family! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHi there. We appreciate your interest in our microwave! The stainless steel finish is brushed stainless. This particular model is also Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel, which includes a clear coat over the stainless to make the unit easy to clean and maintain/help resist fingerprints. If more pictures of the microwave might be useful for you, those are available on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product page. We hope this helps! If you have any other concerns or questions, we’re always glad to assist. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHello. We’re sorry to hear your previous microwave died and that you’ve had to replace it. We recommend using the mounting brackets that are included with the new microwave to ensure it’s safely and properly installed. If we can help with anything else, please let us know. -Gina@GEA

A:AnswerHey there,
We're so happy to hear you're looking to replace your microwave and are considering GE! It'll be our pleasure to assist! The cu. ft. of this model is 1.8. If you would like a model in similar size, we'd recommend model JNM3184RPSS. Please note however, that you will need to use the mounting kit that comes with the model. This is because the kit is made specifically for that model. Thank you for your consideration. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHello. Thanks for reaching out! The light will illuminate after approximately 6 months of use to alert you to replace the charcoal filter (if used) and to clean/replace the grease filters. You can reset by pushing and holding the button for 3 seconds. We hope this helps, and should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us!- Kianna@GEA
A:AnswerHello. Thanks for reaching out! All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Therefore, the microwave you are looking at will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. 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 hope this helps, and should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us!- Kianna@GEA
A:AnswerHi - Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in a new GE microwaves. The great news is all of our over-the-range models would be suitable replacements. Here's a list of some of the models you might consider: JVM3160DFWW, JVM6172DKWW, JVM7195DKWW, or JVM3162DJWW. We're confident you will find a model to suit your needs. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA
A:AnswerHello. Thanks for taking the time to reach out – we truly appreciate your loyalty as a GE consumer and are glad you were able to use your Spacemaker for many years! While we regret that your microwave has now broken, we have multiple replacement options. Unfortunately, without the specific model number of your Spacemaker XL1800, we cannot determine the exact dimensions (several different model numbers were produced in the Spacemaker XL1800 series). If you can reach out to us, here or over social media, with the model number, we would be glad to review further. You can also check our GE website for our various microwave options, if you wish; dimensions will be listed on the product’s page. We have over-the-range options (which can also be installed under a cabinet without a cooking surface below, though you would need to make sure the height clearances in the Installation Instructions are still met) as well as countertop options. We hope to hear from you soon, and are also glad to assist with any other concerns or questions you may have. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, and thanks for reaching out! The Reset Filter light illuminates when either the charcoal filter or grease filters need to be replaced or cleaned. (Once the filters have been replaced or cleaned, the alert can be reset by pushing and holding for 3 seconds.) If the vent filters are the issue, those can be cleaned and used again. We have care and cleaning details on page 20 of the manual (which can be viewed on our GE website by looking up the model number and going to the product page). The vent fan uses two metal reusable filters, which are on the bottom of the microwave. They can be removed by sliding them to the rear using the tabs, then pulling down and out. We recommend cleaning by soaking them, then swishing them through a hot water and detergent mix. If it’s the charcoal filter that needs to be replaced, details on that are on page 21 of the manual. This filter cannot be cleaned and would need to be replaced. The charcoal filter can be removed by first unplugging the microwave (for safety reasons), removing the vent grille mounting screws, tipping the grille forward and lifting it out, and removing the filter. There is a picture in the manual as well, if that might help. The charcoal filter is available under Part # WB02X35637 and can be ordered through our GE Parts website. While the cost can vary, the current cost through our parts website is $21.10. We hope this information is helpful! If you have any other inquiries or concerns, we are glad to assist any time. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHello- We appreciate you checking with us and are happy to help! Over the range microwaves can not be install in a cabinet or on a countertop. According to Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which approves appliance installations, you cannot use an over-the-range microwave on the counter or in a shelf. Besides not being approved for this installation, these microwaves don't have feet and are also often slanted (not level) on the bottom. Additionally, if the surface lights or vent fan were to be turned on accidentally, it could cause damage to the shelf or microwave. We hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, thank you so much for reaching out to us. Model JVM3160RFSS will fit your space, but you'll need to use the mounting bracket that comes with it. All 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 an existing 30" over-the-range model. We just suggest using the mounting bracket of your new microwave as these are model specific. We hope this helps clear things up for you and we're wishing you the absolute best. We'd love to keep you in our GEA family. - Guy@GEA
