A:AnswerHi 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.

A:AnswerHello,
Thanks so much for reaching out. We're sorry to hear the filter you ordered does not fit. We can understand how aggravating that can be. The correct filter part for this model is WB02X35607. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. All the best. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHello 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. Based on the dimensions of your current model, we believe model PVM9179SKSS would work as well. Although they may seem a bit smaller, they both have an optional filler kit to make sure the appliance fits correctly. We have placed a link to this microwave oven, and the filler kit that is compatible with either model.

A:AnswerHi there! Thanks for reaching out to us. The dimensions of this unit are 16 5/16 H x 29 7/8 W x 15 9/16 D. Since the width is slightly larger than 29.75" and there is not space on either side of the unit, it would not fit into that slot. We're sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/contact.htm
Stay safe! Emily@GEA
A:AnswerHi Kathy! Thanks for your questions. This unit does have a melt feature. Depending on which variation of the model that you get, the turntable may have slightly different dimensions. The approximate dimensions of the turntable will be 1/4" H x 14 1/4" W x 14 1/4" D. We hope this helps! Emily@GEA

A:AnswerThe microwave oven I purchased was a replacement made to fit a 30 inch opening and it came with templates and brackets for mounting. If you look on the GE web site they have filler kits to complete the install for a 30 inch microwave. I hope this will help.
A:AnswerHello pwili - Thank you for the interest in this reliable microwave. Model JVM7195SKSS does have a cooktop surface light that uses halogen bulbs. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Toto - We are sorry to hear your microwave is in need of replacement but will be happy to point you in the right direction.
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 such as yours. So when looking for a microwave, you can concentrate more on the features you would like, rather than the size. Thanks! - John@GEA
A:AnswerI’m not sure what microwave that it is you are replacing. We just stepped up to a nicer GE than our first one. The vent matched up but the support holes had to be re-drilled on the top. We really like this microwave so far. Sorry I’m not more help. Good luck.
A:AnswerHi KBinFlorida, great question! We'd be happy to help you out. We found two similar over the range models that have LED cooktop lights listed in their specs. Those models are: PVM9215SKSS and PNM9216SKSS. - Models that have a little less cubic feet, but also have LED lighting for their cooktop lights are as follows: PVM9179SKSS and PNM9216SKSS. - We did want to also provide you with the following information about replacing an over the range microwave with another: 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. - NOTE: 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 that this helps! Happy shopping. -Michael@GEA

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. You can reach out to us further at the “Contact Us” link on our website. – CV
A:AnswerHi there, Rita - Great question! We're finding that model JVM7195SK1SS is still being manufactured, check out model JVM7195SKSS. Thanks so much for considering GE Appliances! -Mikayla
A:AnswerHello - We appreciate your interest in replacing your microwave and we are happy to help! Mounting plates are model specific, and cannot be reused from model to model. You would need to use the mounting plate that comes with a new model. While the space needed for the new microwave is the same, we do recommend using the new mounting bracket and hardware that is packaged with the new microwave. Consequently, it is possible new holes would have to be created to accommodate the new bracket. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks for checking! We appreciate your loyalty! Olga
A:AnswerHello Steve85,
Thanks so much for reaching out. Good question. We'd recommend following the ducting instructions provided throughout the installation instructions. Specific instructions can be found starting on page 12 for outside top exhaust. The instructions provides a chart where you can keep track of your materials and see your total duct length. https://files.bbystatic.com/D8505xASz7TWU7wUCScjfA%3D%3D/0a7b21f9-9d0c-4603-92ac-485d94d13f8d.pdf As long as the length does not exceed 140 feet, you should be fine. We hope this helps. Best wishes. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerToday most new over the range microwaves are convertible to recirculating or the standard external venting. When setup for external venting the internal vent system discharges against a duct extending from the microwave top or rear to the outside air either through the roof, or to an eave vent. When set up for recirculating the air recirculates through a charcoal filter and comes out the bottom of the microwave back into the room. The conversion from exterior venting to recirculating is a very easy process and the procedure is described in the installation manual.
