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:AnswerHello,
Great question! We're sorry to hear about your previous model but we'd be happy to help find a replacement. We think PEB7227DLBB would be a great upgrade! It has built in capability, is similar in size and is the same color. You can see this microwave oven and it's Trim Kit (JX7227DLBB) here:

A:AnswerHi,
Thanks for asking! We appreciate you choosing GE Appliances and we're happy to help. 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. Let us know if you have any more questions. Take care!

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.
A:AnswerHey there,
We appreciate your interest in a new GE microwave! We'll be happy to help find a replacement! If you are looking for an over-the-range model, we'd recommend model JVM6175DKBB with its handy melt setting. The model you listed is a countertop model with built-in capabilities, so the best comparison would be model PEB9159DJBB. We hope these selections are to your liking. Keep in touch! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHey there,
Thanks so much for choosing GE and for your loyalty. We certainly appreciate it. You will need to purchase an additional filler kit for 36" openings. The part number is JX36DSS. Be sure to stay in touch! Mike@GEA

A:AnswerHi, Good question! We appreciate you asking and we'd love to help. We found that this model does not have a programmable surface light and must be turned on/off manually. Thanks for asking! -Sylvia@GEA
A:AnswerHello,
Great question! We thank you for your loyalty to GE Appliances and we'd be happy to help. We do not recommend reusing the same mounting bracket. This model (JVM7195EKES ) will come equipped with a mounting bracket so there is no need to purchase one separately. We hope this information helps!

A:AnswerGreetings,
We appreciate you reaching out and thank you for your continued loyalty! All our over-the-range microwaves are designed to fit into a 30" cabinet opening. This makes choosing a replacement a breeze. Please note however, that you will need to use the mounting kit that comes with the model. This is because the kit is made specifically for that model. So yes, this model can be used to replace your current model. Let us know if you need anything. Stay well! Mike@GEA
