Installation for model JVM1533bd002

The only vent concerning a microwave that I'm aware of, is the vent that vents an over-the-range microwave. If I'm reading you correctly, your referring to the silver-colored plate at the top rear of the microwave that directs the airflow up and through the site-installed duct, or out through the front in a ventless installation.

Yes, this part is necessary. Without it, the vent fan will blow grease-laden air onto the bottom of the overhead cabinet. This will create a fire hazard.

If your attempting to describe a different part, re-ask your question by stating the brand and model microwave and the location of the part in question.

With the full model number, I may be able to send you a link to the installation instructions.

Hello Lori Wilson - Thanks for your post! Generally speaking, the vent is not very strong. Try to place a single paper towel on the underside of the microwave. With the vent on, it should suction the paper towel to the bottom of the microwave. If not, I personally recommend contacting the installer to verify that the vent fan is installed properly and the exhaust outer is correct.

see the video

and proceed according. God bless you

approx 15 cms around the top and sides you may also install an extraction fan to the wall


best of luck

I am looking to replace my Kenmore model 665.61612100 combination microwave with an updated model of the same size and specifications. Any suggestions???

All microwave ovens are not designed the same and have different features, the owner's manual is still your best bet in determining how to operate your oven. In addition, you did not include a MODEL NUMBER. All GE microwave are not the same and have different features based on model number.

Have you tried managemylife.com or geappliances.com? Both websites offer an extensive list of owner's and installation manuals. Use your model number for your search criteria.

If you still require assistance, please poswt back with your model number so I can attempt to provide you with better assistance. I hope this help you.

the paper template that they send to mark for mounting instructions? yes...another template you're refering to?

Sorry about my last reply I just saw your model.

I have found that some older microwaves (the cheaper ones like under $250 au) use sub standard parts. The heating motor in these units simply wear out. Honestly it would be cheaper to go out and buy a new cheap unit than to get it repaired as the parts for these units are very expensive.
These items are clasified as disposable units. Where to but a new unit may cost $200 anf the replacement part may cost $150 and then you have the cost of labor of a Microwave specialist installing it. Which I would not attempt yourself as if it is not installed correctly or the unit not put back together correctly could cause harmful microwave leaks during operation.

Yes to all of your questions. There is a mounting bracket which is specific to this model.
