Q: QuestionDoes the door on this microwave still use tinted glass, meaning you can't see the food while cooking? Thank you!

Asked 5 years ago by GJPJ.

• A:Answer Hello there! We appreciate your question and interest in our microwaves. We found that the glass window is tinted, so it may appear the interior light is not on. If you open the door and the light comes on, then the microwave is functioning properly. We hope this helps! Emily@GEA

• A:Answer Hi Larry, thanks for reaching out to us. We're very sorry if your microwave is having power issues. We would not expect this for our customers so we're happy to help. We first suggest disconnecting power to the unit for 2-3 minutes to reset the controls. If the problem persists, we recommend scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). If your microwave was purchased less than a year ago you're covered under the warranty for a free service trip. We hope this helps. - Guy@GEA

Q: QuestionHi, Can I turn the "when done" beep on and off as needed?? Thanks so much......

Asked 5 years ago by canman.

• A:Answer Hi canman - Thanks for reaching out to us! We truly appreciate your interest in this over-the-range sensor microwave and are happy to help you with this. If you are referring to the cooking complete reminder that displays "Food is ready" on the screen, this will beep once a minute until you either open the oven door or press the Cancel/Off button and cannot be turned off. - If you are referring to the Cook Time or Timer beeper in general, you cannot turn the beeper off, but you can adjust the volume as directed on page 24 of the Use and Care Manual. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any additional questions about this microwave or using it in the future. We are always happy to help! -Eliza@GEA

Q: QuestionI just installed the pvm9005sjss over my new dual fuel range Model: P2B940SEJSS. The range control area has a matte finish. But the mic has a shiny finish over the control pad. Is this correct or do I need to remove a plastic film from microwave?

Asked 5 years ago by Coolnewkitchen.

• A:Answer Hi there! Congrats on your new microwave and range! We're sure that you're going to love them both! Many microwaves come with protective film on the outside of the door and around the control panel. There may also be blue tape on the inside the door around the window that should be removed as well. We hope that this is helpful and that you're staying safe! If you have any other questions or concerns about your new appliances, feel free to send us an email or reach out to us on social media. All the best! -Michae@GEA

Q: QuestionI want to replace my current microwave. It is mounted through 2 screws on the top (through a cabinet bottom). How does this system mount?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello, The top mount has 3 screws for installation. Additionally we had a previous GE microwave and had hoped to use the existing wall bracket but this microwave was slightly taller then the out going one so we had to install the new bracket which sits lower on the wall due to height difference.

Q: QuestionThe replace filter light came on. What do I do?

Asked 5 years ago by STELLA.

• A:Answer Hi Stella, thanks for reaching out! If your replace filter light has come on, it would be time to replace your charcoal filter in your microwave. The red LED indicator will light every 6 months as a reminder to replace the charcoal filter. After replacing the charcoal filters, Hold the Reset Filter for 3 seconds to turn off the Red LED indicator. The charcoal filter that you would need for your unit is as follows: WB02X11550. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael

Q: QuestionI need to replace my old OTR GE microwave JVM7195RFSS with specifications W 29.75 x D 15.5 x H 16.5 Will this GE profile microwave PVM9005SJSS work in the same space with specifications W 29 15/16 x D 16.5/32 x H 17 5/16h

Asked 5 years ago by phillyguy.

• A:Answer Hi phillyguy - Thanks for reaching out to us! We are sorry to hear your GE microwave model JVM7195RFSS needs replacing and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. All GE 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a standard 30" wide x 11 1/2"-12" deep (min.) cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. If you have a tile backsplash on the wall under the microwave, modifications may be required since this model is 17 5/16"H. We suggest viewing the Quick Specs at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=PVM9005SJ_c3.pdf - We appreciate your loyalty!
