A GE range can be purchased online, yes. You could look at the GE manufacturer's website, itself and they will have all of their products up for sale.
I bought one in December 1995.
"GE which is the acronym for General Electric is a global brand company that produces various range of products. There parts are custom made for their products and thus, cant be used on other company products."
The GE slide-in has a rail that slides out so you don't have to put your hand inside the range.
There are a wide variety of warranties on ge ranges depending on where you go to get your range http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=PB975SMSS
One can purchase a second hand replacement hood for a GE range on the auctioning website eBay. Alternatively a new one could be found on Amazon or the GE appliances website.
The GE range is ADA complaint because it sits lower to the ground, so that people in wheelchairs and the like can easily use it.
The microwave itself is equipped with cooling fans; that said, a minimum distance -- about 30"+ -- should be kept between the range top and the bottom of the microwave. The GE Spacemaker JVM1665 has a heatshield made of metal that will protect it from heat.
GE microwaves are manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
The GE CGS980 can go all the way up to 600 degrees.
