Q: QuestionWe currently have a GE 1.9 Cu ft model#JNM7196sK3SS unit died. That same model is currently on back order. I see the same size unit that is also a GE but model #JVM7195SKSS seems to be more readily available. Will the mounting bracket fit both units?

Q: QuestionCan I open the microwave when it is working without the fuse shuting down the power .?

Asked 3 years ago by francisco.

• A:Answer Hello – thanks for reaching out about this over-the-range microwave. When microwave cooking, the microwave door can be opened mid-cycle. However, doing this is harder on the appliance over its life. Using the Start/Pause button or waiting until the timer expires to open the microwave door is the best for the product life. If you’re concerned about the electrical arrangement setup, we recommend consulting a certified electrician. We hope this helps and let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Kind Regards.

• A:Answer Hey - we checked the information for this unit, and there are some changes for the installation between this microwave and your current model. While this newer model would work in the same space as your current unit, the mounting brackets are not the same and the place for the bracket openings might not align. -- We recommend referring to the installation instructions for this unit to learn more about the appropriate installation steps for this microwave. You can find the instructions by looking up the model number (#JVM7195SKSS) on our GE Appliances website and going to the "Owner's Support" section. -- Please know you can also reach out to us on social media if we can assist you further. Have a great one. - Pablo@GEA

• A:Answer Hi - Thank you for your interest in a new GE Appliances microwave. This is a great model to consider as a replacement with respect to capacity and features. As you have discovered our current models fit in a 30" wide opening. You will also need the JX36BSS filler kit to fill in the additional 3" opening on each side of the microwave. Please contact the store directly for pricing information for the products and installation. We wish you all the best! Kind regards - Vikki@GEA
