• A:Answer Hi Kurtis - It's great to hear from you! We certainly appreciate your loyalty and glad to have you in the family! Comparable models are GE Profile™ 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9215SKSS and GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM7195SKSS (Model JNM7196SKSS is the same as JVM7195SKS except factory-assembled for recirculating). All models can be converted to recirculating. 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, current models no longer have an active vent (vent flap that opens when operating). The vent is now located on top of the door. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Enjoy! Sue

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.

• 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 5 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning - Stainless Steel

• 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. We encourage you to view pages 20, 23 and 24 of the Use and Care Manual at the following link for details: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40766-2.pdf - We’re glad to have you in the family.

Q: QuestionHi I am replacing my current over the range. Whirlpool microwave that has a great feature, which was That the exhaust fan automatically turned on when the heat from the range below got to a certain temp, does the GE model# jvm7195skss do the same thing?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi - Thanks for considering our GE model # jvm7195skss! We have great news. All GE over-the-range microwaves have an automatic fan feature to help protect the electronic components, and also helps the cooking area get rid of excess heat. The built-in thermostat automatically turns the vent fan on if the unit is too hot (temperature around the control panel is above 150 degrees F) and will not turn off until the microwave is cool again. You will not be able to turn the vent fan off manually during this time. The fan will shut off when the control surface is less than 150 degrees F.

Before scheduling service, please try a reset by unplugging or turning off power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. See MICROWAVE ERROR, FAULT OR FUNCTION CODES: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16575 - To schedule service online, visit us at GEAppliances.com or call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737).
