GE JVM7195SKSS Repair Guide
A 1.9 cu ft over-the-range microwave with sensor cooking and a 400 CFM vent, sitting above the JVM3160 in GE’s line. The extra extraction is worth having over a range that gets used hard, and it is the same well-supported platform underneath.
Common problems & typical repair costs

| Sensor cycles ending early | Humidity sensor fouled with cooking grease | Clean the sensor and exhaust path first | — | $0–$300 |

Tech notes
The 400 CFM blower works considerably harder than the 300 CFM units in the same family, and it is a more expensive motor to replace. Regular filter cleaning is the entire maintenance story for keeping it alive.
