Hi -this is Sue from GE. Thanks for your interest in our GE model JVM3160RFSS. We appreciate your loyalty! Our 30" over-the-range microwaves are designed to be installed in the same standard upper cabinet space (30" min. width, 12" min.-13" max. depth). The height and depth of the models may vary slightly. The top mounting is basically the same. You will need to use the back wall mounting bracket included with the new model as they are similar but not interchangeable. Your model, JNM1851SM2SS was shipped assembled for recirculating (indoor) venting. Model JVM3160RFSS is shipped assembled for outdoor venting. If you choose model JVM3160, you will also need to purchase the optional recirculating charcoal filter JX81L and follow the recirculating venting instructions in the installation guide. You may want to consider model JNM3161RFSS. It is the same model except is shipped assembled for recirculating (indoor) venting.

Enjoy!

No, it will not match. Need to make new holes to hook it up

No it will not. They thought they'd be clever & make ALL holes off just a tiny bit but just enough so you'll need to make new holes & use the included bracket (on the back of the new microwave)

the template supplied with the microwave lays out the hole pattern,2 holes on the right and 1 on the left, not sure if the pattern is the same for the older micro that you have, would make sense that the manufacturer would use the name layout
