QuestionStill no power to front door
Asked 5 years ago by Larry.
- 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

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.
This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- 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

QuestionNeed to replace my 19 year old GE Profile Spacemaker XL 1800 OTR microwave. Which is the closest model you have that comes with a rack to cook more than one item at a time?
Asked 5 years ago by Misty.
This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- Answer Hi Misty, thanks for reaching out! 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. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy! NOTE: 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 think that you'll really like the following model. Search for it a see what you think: PVM9179SKSS. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael

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.
This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- 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.

QuestionThe replace filter light came on. What do I do?
Asked 5 years ago by STELLA.
This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- 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

Asked 5 years ago by phillyguy.
This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- 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.

This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Stainless Steel
- Answer Hi Ibuystuff - Thanks for considering GE Profile™ Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven PVM9005SJSS! While the control panel is not scratch proof, we suggest cleaning the control panel, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasive or sharp objects on the panel as they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.
