A:AnswerUnfortunately each model requires it’s own mounting bracket. The holes for mounting to the wall are different as are the tabs for connecting to the Microwave.
It is really poor design by GE as there doesn’t seem to be any reason for the bracket to change from model to model - especially when the dimensions of the Microwave are identical! Also, the holes you have to drill in the bottom of your kitchen cabinet will likely be in a different location too - meaning you will need to drill new holes in the cabinet and probably use fender washers to compensate for the weakening of the wood. Again, bad engineering design. It is a good Microwave, that could be better if GE paid attention to ergonomics.
A:AnswerNo, it is slightly different. The mounting bracket slots is about 1/4 - 1/2 inches to the left. Installing the mounting bracket that comes with the new microwave is easy to install.
A:AnswerHello – 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.
