Q: QuestionDoes this have to be installed over an oven or range?

Asked 9 months ago by albe.

• A:Answer It can be installed under a cabinet, even if there is not a cooking surface underneath; however, the height clearances must still be met. There must be a minimum of 30” of height between the bottom edge of the cabinet and the surface below. For more details, see the Mounting Space section on page 6 of the Installation Instructions, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

Q: QuestionI have a GE Profile Performance Sensor Convector convection PVM9179SRSS microwave, I destroyed the over-the-counter light fixture when attempting to replace a worn-out bulb, Is the light fixture replaceable?

Asked 9 months ago by Mike.

• A:Answer We are sorry to hear this happened. The cooktop light is consumer replaceable. We have instructions on page 27 in the manual. It is extremely important to unplug the microwave before attempting to replace the bulb. If you don't disconnect the power, you can damage the socket. The interior light is not considered consumer replaceable and would require Bodewell Service to replace. Please reach out to Bodewell Service by calling 1-833-426-3393. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionWhat replacesmodel PEB1590SM2SS

Asked 9 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer No, this model PVM9179SRSS is designed to be installed over your range. This model can't be built into the cabinet. If you use your convection feature and would like to have that feature on your new microwave, we recommend model PCWK15C1WSS. If you don't utilize the convection, you can replace with this model PCWK22U1WDD. The compatible trim kits are listed on the specifications page. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionHello, replacing the PVM9179DK3BB. Is there a newer model that we can fit right in without changing the setup of this model? What the best replacement option?

Asked 10 months ago by Replacement.

This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - Profile Series 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Chef Connect - Black

• A:Answer This model will fit in the same space as your prior model, as all 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. However, mounting brackets / mounting holes may be slightly different from model to model. We recommend measuring your space to ensure it meets the dimensions required as noted in the Mounting Space section on page 6 of the Installation Instructions, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

Q: QuestionAll questions on “Convection Bake” 1. How to set timer for this? 2. How to keep the door opened without automatically closing? The hot door keeps closing on my arm. 3. Exterior door gets really hot, is this normal/ safe for wooden shelf around/ above

Asked 1 year ago by Newcustomer.

• A:Answer To set the time for Convection Bake, you will turn the dial to the desired time and push it. You can then press the Start/Pause button to begin. Please ensure that your unit is installed correctly. If it is tilted too far back, this could cause the door to close on its own. It is also normal for the door of your unit to be hot, as hot air does escape from this area.

Q: QuestionI have PVM1790SR1SS. Does PVM9179SRSS replace it?

Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer This model would make a great addition to your home. 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 current 30" Over-the-Range microwave models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" Over-the-Range microwave model. 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.
