Q: QuestionHow does this vent?

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It comes with a charcoal filter if you do not have outside access. Otherwise, standard venting. Venting requires you move direction of blowers (fairly simple) to set up either option

Q: QuestionHow do I turn on the settings lights

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Do not buy this. I hated everything about it, but the worst part is that there is a known defect where it will break after a year. Go read the forums and you'll learn about it. When I called GE they refused to help me. Stay far away from this

Q: QuestionI am replacing an older model GE Profile microwave that is 30 inches wide but also has what appears to be a 6 inch spacer module attached to fill in the 36 inch wide opening. Can I acquire a 6 inch spacer/trim module for this GE model as well?

Asked 6 years ago by TRP58.

• A:Answer Hi TRP58 - If you are replacing a 36" over-the-range microwave, many current 30" over-the-range microwaves offer an optional 36" filler kit to allow it to be installed in a 36" cut-out opening. If available, the filler kit will be listed in the product specifications. A 36" Filler Trim Kit is not available for model PVM9005SJSS. GE Profile™ Series 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9215SKSS is compatible with Optional Side Filler Panel Kit JX36DSS. Keep in touch! Sue

Q: QuestionDoes heat from the stove cook top cause problems with the micro wave control panel?

Asked 3 years ago by DiamondLake.

• A:Answer Hi there, and thanks for reaching out with this great question! We certainly understand your concern over the control panel, and we’re glad to advise. This model is designed to be used over a range, so as long as it’s installed correctly with the right clearance between the cook top and the microwave, we do not anticipate any issues. When installed, the top of the microwave should be 30” above the cook top, and the mounting height should be at least 66” from the floor. If you’d like to review the information on installing, we do have our Installation Instructions as well as Quick Specs linked on the product page on our GE Appliances website; you can view that when you look up the model number. Please note that over-the-range microwaves shouldn’t be installed over any range or cooktop with a combined BTU greater than 60,000. We hope this is helpful, and we’re always available if you have any other questions or concerns. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA

Q: QuestionWhat color is the display? My GE oven has a bright white display. Some GE microwave hoods seem to have green displays. Consumer photos are different from ads. I know this is a small thing to some people but would drive me nuts if a different color.

• A:Answer It’s white on black - white letters/numbers on black background

Q: QuestionI currently have a GE model jvm1540sm2ss that no longer works. It had rear venting to the side exterior wall. I understand that model is discontinued. What is the best rated, identical or nearly identical model to replace it with? Thanks!

Asked 7 years ago by kdallen220.

• A:Answer Hi kdallen220- You can choose any model. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. 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. You can use the same rear venting. Check out page 21 of the Installation Guide for model PVM9005SJSS- OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (Horizontal Duct): https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40755.pdf - Models with similar features are JVM3160RFSS (Black Case) and JVM6172SKSS (Gray Case).
