Dear MJ,

Thank you for your interest in GE microwaves. I am happy to help.

I can tell you that there are multiple safety features built into the unit which contain the microwaves within the unit. I will have to check to see if there is a specific apparatus or system with this designation.

I will get back with an answer as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Nikki from GE

Hello Joe,

This is Donna with GE and I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your microwave.

Microwave ovens are extremely difficult to diagnose. There are many components in a microwave that can cause similar symptoms. For safety reasons, GE offers no do-it-yourself repair advice on microwave ovens due to:
*Safety requirements due to high voltage (capacitor hold a high voltage charge even after it has been unplugged)
*Complexity of electronic circuitry.
*Special equipment needed to make diagnosis.

I recommend to schedule an appointment for an authorized technician to diagnose and repair. Please see the following link to schedule service.

I apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused. Please contact us again if you have any further questions.

The microwave will fit into the current 30" location. None of the installation kits are totally interchangeable. You must use the new mounting system and hardware that comes with the specific microwave. There are vent duct, cord cut-out location and mounting screw location changes for these models.

The installation intructions are available to view on the Home Depot website for this model under "More Info".
