• A:Answer Hi Char - Thanks for choosing GE! The power cord comes out of the top of the unit on the right side (facing the front of the microwave). It is approximately a 40" power cord (including the plug and base of cord). You can view the top cabinet template at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-41061.pdf - Also, see pages 13-14 of the Installation Instructions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Keep in touch!

Q: QuestionI bought a ge microwave model jvm7195sf1ss December of 2014 and it stopped heating. What should I do?

Asked 6 years ago by Darci.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer This has happened to my previous 3 microwaves over the years. Each time, it was something called a magnetron. It is a very expensive part - usually over 100.00 for just the part. To me, it isn’t cost effective. Microwaves seem to last only 3-4 years. We have just replaced them, but will no longer buy the fanciest ones. We have been lucky to find great deals on open box items.

Q: QuestionIn the GE Microwave, model JM7195SK3SS. A small cardboard cover is connected to the interior right wall with a screw. Looks like they forgot to attach a plate or something. Is this an error? Can't imagine this cardboard piece holding up over time.

Asked 6 years ago by JEMML.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi JEMML - The cardboard cover on the right top or side wall of the microwave interior is there by design. The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. To clean, follow the instructions in the owner's manual for cleaning the interior of the oven. The same instructions apply.

Q: QuestionI am trying to find a microwave that will fit a 29.75" opening, but in my shopping I have found that most microwaves are 29.875" wide. The dimensions on this one are listed as 29.75" wide, but it says for a 30" opening. Is it really 29.75" wide? Thanks!

Asked 7 years ago by Sallylyn77.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer They are not all the same width. Whoever made the cabinet opening in my house did not make it 30 inches wide. It is a little narrower and a standard 29 7/8 microwave is too wide. A 29 3/4 microwave is a very snug fit. I would double check the size of the opening. It should be 30 inches. Good luck.

Q: QuestionHi, does the GE 7195 microwave need to be vented outside or can it be used as is?

Asked 7 years ago by allwhldrv.

• A:Answer The only thing that actually 'vents' air from a microwave is the Vent Fan. That fan must be connected to an exhaust outlet and it is turned either On or Off from the front control panel. But, Yes, you can definitely cook in the microwave without turning the vent fan on.

Q: QuestionI need to replace my XL1800 Spacemaker (JVM1850CD). It is white and mounted over an oven. It seems to vent forward (into the kitchen) and definitely not out of the house. Is the JNM7196DKWW a close replacement? Would it use the same mounting?
