Over-the-Range Microwave - Microwave Oven Replacement
The dimensions of Over-the-Range Microwaves have remained consistent over the years. New models are designed to fit into the same overhead cabinet opening width of 30 inches and cabinet depth of 12 inches minimum to 13 inches maximum as previous models.
Replacing an Over-the-Range Microwave Oven
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 (see below for information on replacing a 36" Over-the-Range Microwave model). Each Microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and Installation Instructions needed to complete the installation process. This makes choosing a replacement Microwave very 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.
You can view our current Over-the-Range Microwave models on the GE Appliances website and narrow the choices by color, features and more.
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" wide cabinet opening. If available for a specific model, the filler kit will be listed in the product Specs & Details tab on our website. View all 36" filler kits.
Filler kits can be ordered through our GE Appliances Parts & Accessories website, if needed.
