JVM3160DF8W - Where to Acquire Mounting/Drilling Template for GE Over-the Range Microwave Oven?

[pr660]

Model Number

JVM3160DF8W

Brand

GE

Age

Less than 1 year

We just acquired a new GE model JVM3160DF8WW Over the Range microwave oven from a relative who is remodeling. Our 20yr old over the range unit just crapped out again after I installed a new magnetron 18 months ago---
This new oven is great, but the mounting holes are different and it would be quite a task getting the new holes drilled correctly without the assistance of a template.

Where does one go to get the installation template for drilling holes in the cabinet?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I got:

Pm template​

Part #31-7000096
The manufacturer no longer makes this part, and there's no substitute part

Pm template​

Part #31-7000098
The manufacturer no longer makes this part, and there's no substitute part

You could try asking GE to see if they still have a copy.

Just wondered if you could cut a piece of paper the size of the microwave and trace out your own templates!?

Thank you. I spoke to several staff at the numbers provided. They all said this is an "answer center" issue and directed me.......Where I was then told to go to the website and then discovered, as you said, the part is no longer available...
Kind of unbelievable. This oven is a relatively new model, mfg date 1/2022. I will have to try my hand at template-making...

So many people today have forgotten what a pencil and eraser is
