getting to the charcoal filter
Follow directions in the manuel, but getting the grill off to get to the where the filter goes was very difficult, the springs kept poping around. Finally got together. This is the 2nd time I have replaced this grill, don't remember it being this difficult before.
The Microwave does not vent outside so it takes a chrcoal filter
Take 2 screws off on top of the microwave, remove the small grill, remove the old charcoal filter, replace it with the new one put the grill back on, that is it, very easy. I change the filter every 6 months.

no carbon filter in vent and fan
Had to pry the front top of mircowave open and bend down and force this carbon filter in on an angle .Had to call several numbers for instructions. Very awkward and ridiculous to put carbon filter in-besides, it should have come with one to start with!!

Charcoil Filter needed to be changed.
GE microwave displayed the message that Charcoil Filter needs to be changed. I disconnected the unit and removed the top two screws then removed the top panel by sliding it gently to the left. Replaced the filter. And positioned it in the same way the old filter was installed. Replaced the top panel and screws, Connected the unit back and used the Menu option to reset the Charcoil Filter warning option.

I was receiving message that charcoal filter needed replacing
I finally found the two screws to remove the fan opening. Once I did that I did not locate an OLD charcoal filter!! I just deducted there was never one in there, based on where the instructions said it should be located. I placed the new filter and let it "rest on an angle" as per the instructions I read from the diagram, and from the other peoples description online. I put the breaker back on and all seems fine!

I wish to install charcoal filter kit, will it be easy and install instruction?
For model number PVM1870SM3SS
Hi Yim, Thank you for the question. At the top of the vent grill, there will be 2 screws holding it in place. Remove the screws and pop the vent grill off. The filter just slips in place. This should be a pretty easy job. Good luck !

I have a GE Adora Microwave that's built in and is vented. It doesn't have a charcoal filter but I am getting an error message to install one. Does this type installation need a that filter? The Grille Cover has some broken parts and is being held on by one screw so I figure I'll have to replace that to if I put a filter in.
For model number DVM 1850 SM 3SS
Hi Robert, thank you for contacting us. According to our research, we would recommend replacing the vent grille, part number PS5135597. If the issue still occurs, then you may need to replace the charcoal filter, part number PS224009. We hope this helps!
To whom it may concern, i see 2 filters under the microwave. Do i need to order 2 charcoal filters or do they ship 2 per order? Thank you,
For model number JMV1540SM4SS
Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. The ones for your model part# WB02X11495 are sold individually, so you would need to order two. Hope this helps!

How do I replace charcoal filter on this microwave model. It does not have a grill on top but a flap that tilts forward. I would appreciate your advise. Thank you.
For model number JVM1870SK03
Hi Elisabeth,
Thank you for your question. That would be your grille actually. There should be a couple of screws on the top of that grille that you can remove to then get to the smaller metal grille behind it and replace the charcoal filter. It looks like we have answered this question previously as well: "At the top of the vent grill, there will be 2 screws holding it in place. Remove the screws and pop the vent grill off. The filter just slips in place.". Customers have also written in with how they have installed the part, if you would like you can look at that information underneath your charcoal filter part information. Just scroll down passed the questions and you will see the installation instructions from other customers. Good luck with your repair.

I need to replace the grease filter. Is that the only filter in this unit?
For model number JVM1870SK03
Hello Patricia, thank you for your question. The grease filter is PartSelect Number: PS952418 and that is the filter that is under the unit. The charcoal filter, PartSelect Number: PS224009, is located behind the vent grill. I hope this helps!
