A:AnswerHello- We are so sorry to hear you are having this experience. Sometimes shutting off the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the microwave oven for a couple minutes will clear the fault, error or function code. However, there are some cases when service may be required. If the reset doesn't resolve the issue, please reach out to GE Consumer Service at 1-800-432-2737. Thank you! Joyce@GEA
A:AnswerHello- Congratulations on your new microwave. This is a really nice model! The JX36BSS is the kit you will need. This will allow a standard 30” microwave to fit into a 36” opening. We hope this helps! Joyce@GEA

We hope this over-the-range unit will be a good fit for your home! We are happy to help with any other questions or concerns. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHello there - This is a really good question! 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 so glad that you checked! -Mikayla@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, we appreciate you reaching out to us. Yes, the charcoal filter for this microwave (WB02X10956) can be purchased on our parts website or at a GE Appliances dealer. In addition, the charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored. Lastly, the fan is designed to help protect the electronic components and help the cooking area get rid of excess heat, but it's not specifically manufactured to purify cooking odors. We hope this is all useful information and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA
A:AnswerMy GE Profile Microwave is Model number JVM7195SK6SS and the light turns on when I open the door. I searched for your model number and couldn't find an exact match. However, when you open the microwave door and look at the same sticker where your model# was located you should see a QR code. Your mobile phone's photo app should recognize the QR code and offer to take you directly to your microwave's page on GE's website. See if they have a video or perhaps the manual addresses the light.
I too would expect any microwave with a light to turn on when you open the door.
A:AnswerHi - Thank you for choosing a new GE microwave for your home. The step-by-step instructions for the installation of the filler kit does come with the kit and is available online. It does not appear to be difficult to install. You will install the filler kit on the microwave prior to the installation of the microwave itself. If you have additional questions or concerns, reach out to us on social media. All our best! Vikki@GEA
A:AnswerHi! Thanks for asking, we'd be more than happy to help. We're sorry to hear about your sensor malfunctioning, we can understand how that would be frustrating. We took a look and are seeing that your current model, JVM7195SKSS, is still being manufactured. We hope this helps! Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

A:AnswerYou might need to purchase a replacement vent directly from GEappliances.com if the flap is too pinched to move - if you need the flap. My old microwave that came with the house did not have a vent bracket at all - it simply blew air into the cabinet space above it and ultimately out the exhaust vent - not ideal but in hindsight I didn't notice anything bad in the short 2 years the old microwave worked. My new microwave is the same as yours and I now have a working flap installed, and on windy days I can hear it slapping around. Two take-aways from that. 1. It does block outside air from back-drafting into the house (my house's vent has a screen on the outside but no flap). 2. The metal microwave flap can be noisy at times. If your house has a flap externally then you probably don't need the microwave's flap.
When I installing my microwave I noticed its vent was much smaller than the large gap in the cabinet above it. Instead of somehow joining the two sizes together I used double-sided tape to attach foam insulation on top of the microwave - surrounding the microwave's exhaust and as wide as the cabinet gap - which creates a seal against the cabinet above it so exhaust from the Microwave has nowhere to go but directly through the house's exhaust vent.
