• A:Answer Hi Kim - Thanks for reaching out to us and for choosing GE. We are sorry to hear your microwave JVM7195EK1ES is no longer working and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We suggest resetting the electronics by unplugging (outlet generally in upper cabinet) or turning off power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. While microwaves have an internal fuse, it is not consumer replaceable. It could be one of many components. For safety reasons, we offer no do-it-yourself repair advice on microwave ovens due to high voltage (capacitor hold a high voltage charge even after it has been unplugged), complexity of electronic circuitry and special equipment needed to make diagnosis. A qualified GE service technician is required for an accurate diagnosis. To schedule service online, visit us at GEAppliances.com or call 1.800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737).

Q: QuestionWhat does installation cost for an over-the-range microwave ?

Asked 6 years ago by Linn.

• A:Answer My 82 year old husband & I (80) did it. Hardest part was raising it up to hook over the bracket on the wall. Used the bracket already on the wall from the old oven, same brand now 14 years old.

Q: QuestionHi we are looking to replace our otr microwave GE model PVM2070SM1SS. Is this microwave comparable? I don’t see the melt or soften feature on this model. Also does this unit use the same mounting bracket as our current model? Thanks

Asked 6 years ago by Singer2190.

• A:Answer Hi Singer2190 - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Yes, Model JVM7195SKSS is a great replacement choice for your current model PVM2070SM1SS. The Melt pad is located under the Popcorn pad near the top below the display. Melt allows for worry-free melting of butter, caramel, chocolate and marshmallows. 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. Also, 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're glad to have you in the family. Enjoy! Sue

Q: QuestionI accidentally enabled the Lock Control on a GE Microwave model JVM6175SK1SS. How do I turn it off?

Asked 6 years ago by David.

Q: QuestionWhy can I not get this microwave to pop a simple bag of microwave popcorn? It’s the same brand I’ve used for years, and in this microwave, it barely pops and is unevenly cooked. Is there something I am missing? I have never had an issue like this.

Asked 6 years ago by Popcorn.

• A:Answer Hello and thank you for reaching out about your microwave. We are sorry to hear about the issue you have been having with your popcorn. When using the Popcorn automatic feature, the package should be between 2 and 3.5 ounces. If the package is not in this range, please follow the instructions on the packaging. If you find that the brand of popcorn you use under pops or overcooks consistently, you can add or subtract 20-30 seconds to the automatic popping time. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - JB

Q: QuestionThe sensor light for the charcoal filter in the hood came on. I removed the filter and washed it. I then reinstalled back into the microwave. How do I shut off the red light for the charcoal filter?

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi - Thanks for reaching out to us and for choosing GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM7195SKSS. We are happy to provide assistance with the filters. Press the Reset Filter pad on the control panel for 3 seconds to reset the filter light. This model is equipped with optional charcoal filter WB06X10807. If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through this disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors. If this model is vented outdoors, the charcoal filter is not necessary. Note: The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on usage). This model also has reusable metal grease filters underneath. The vent filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed. There is not a filter light for these grease filters.

Asked 6 years ago by Rose.

• A:Answer Hi Rose - Thanks for choosing GE Model JVM7195SK3SS and welcome to the family! Yes, these model numbers are the same.
