A:AnswerOurs did the same thing. We opted to replace the microwave, as repairing the magnetron wouldn't have been worth the cost. We got a great deal on a replacement at Best Buy. Ours was less than 7 years old.
A:AnswerMeasure the width to make sure that it fits between your cabinets and you should be fine. I’ve replaced two ge microwaves in the last month (mine and my parents) with this one and they were the same. Used the old hanger too. You will more than likely have to drill holes in the upper cabinet because the bolt holes were not in the same spot on the new one.
A:AnswerTrick question! An over the range microwave doesn’t go into a “housing”. It has lights and filters on the bottom that should not be blocked. Hey “Bill” did you really go online and post this question and expect that someone was going to research it for you? You’re evidently not going to get expert help from BB either.
A:AnswerNot sure but I can say that it was included.
You might go to the GE Appliance Site and watch a video on how to unpack and install. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
A:AnswerAlmost all of your microwaves except for certain microwaves that are special ordered have a standard of 30 in wide. That being said there's about a 98% chance that the new microwave will be the same width as your current microwave therefore you should be able to use the current spacers as well. The only thing that may change is the mounting bracket that is currently melted on the wall behind here microwave.
