Charcoal filter - your instructions say to press and release the panel inside the oven door. There is no such panel on my microwave. There are two screws above the door but, when I remove them and the panel they screw into, there is no filter to be seen.
For model number JVM3160DF2WW
Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. If the filter has never been replaced the dealer may have not installed one. The Charcoal filter will fit in behind the top vent panel above the door. Hope this helps!

Does this fit GE microwave model PVM9179SK6SS?
For model number PVM9179SK6SS

We suggest replacing both filters at the same time. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
I replaced the filter with the exact part that I bought from GE. After replacing the filter in the exact spot the old filter was, the reset filter light stays on. How can I get the light to shut off.

Had to replace charcoal filter
Open the front cover by pushing it at the top (where it says “Push”), lifting up and pushing back on top edge of the old filter. Pull it out. Installing the new one is basically just the reverse of those steps! That simple.
Old filter did seem to be a little thicker (filter material), but the new one was the exact same dimensions, so it went in properly. Wish the filter material was white, so you knew just how dirty it was actually getting. But... :-D

Warning light came on to replace
Ok. Surprised I was sent a damaged part. Box was intact but the aluminum frame was bent. Looks like I received a factory reject. I was able to make it fit

It was an easy install thanks to my son
It's working and I look forward to not having a big stain on my ceiling. My microwave never came with a filter, so I'm looking forward to see if this does the trick

Easy Repair
Fit easily and would recommend for a DIY. Had microwave serviced a year ago and they just left out filter when they put it back together again. I would have never known.

The part was a filter which needs replacing every six months.
The filter was the correct part, and functions as expected.
