Q: QuestionConvection cooking version of this model. Does it have the capability by another name?

Asked 5 years ago by Vinnie.

• A:Answer Hi there, Vinnie! We appreciate you reaching out to us. We do not call convection cooking by any other term. We have an air frying feature, but it is not available in our over-the-range microwaves and it functions somewhat differently than convection cooking. We also offer our Advantium over-the-range microwaves which lists convection cooking as one of the 5 available cooking methods. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us at our contact page. Keep in touch! Emily@GEA

Q: QuestionNeed to replace a Spacemaker XL Microwave oven Model JVM1460 with one having a comparable footprint. What model will provide an easy fit?

Asked 5 years ago by sharndon.

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

• A:Answer Hi sharndon - Thank you for reaching out to us and for your patience. We truly appreciate your interest in this over-the-range microwave to replace your current unit and are happy to help you with this! While you may see slight differences in the dimensions between models, all 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. This design is intended to make choosing a replacement microwave easy. - This model, JVM7195DKBB, would be a fantastic choice, and would also provide you with a larger interior capacity than your previous model as well as additional features! When replacing an over-the-range microwave, the mounting bracket and hardware included with the new microwave should be used since the mounting bracket is specific to each model. You can also learn more about the necessary mounting space for this model on page 7 of the Installation Guide, seen here: https://files.bbystatic.com/D8505xASz7TWU7wUCScjfA%3D%3D/71202a78-ffec-4fa8-acf8-bb8e16b55a36.pdf. - We hope that this information is helpful for you and are so glad to have you as a loyal member of the GE Appliances family. Please don't hesitate to reach back out to us if you have any additional questions about this replacement or installation. All the best! -Eliza@GEA

Asked 5 years ago by cjt19.

• A:Answer Hello cjt70, Thanks for reaching out to us! We appreciate your loyalty to GE Appliances, and we'd be happy to help you find a replacement microwave oven. We found that the model you're currently considering (JVM7195SKSS) will work as a compatible replacement.

We have placed a link to this microwave oven, and the filler kit that is compatible with either model.
