2 Pack, Fulfilled By Amazon, New Microwave Oven Light Bulb Lamp Globe Z187 125V 20W

Perfect fit however what a PITA to merely change a bulb, remove the case yadda yadda. But. I can now see what is cooking before it boils over.

I have an idea why you can't easily change a microwave light bulb, unlike every other appliance you have. Because the light bulb must be inside the chamber where the microwaves originate, it also must be next to a high-voltage power supply! That said, if you have some knowledge, a bit of tinkering skills, (and a special screwdriver if not!) you can easily replace a light bulb that goes out saving you anywhere from $70 to $150 for the price of a new microwave. After my microwave light went out, I noticed the microwave was still operating perfectly. Having disassembled other appliances, I knew that only about 6 - 8 screws held the casing on, so I decided to see if I could get a new light bulb at a local hardware store. The screws are a special kind that can only be removed by a special screwdriver (or a pair of pliers!). After I removed the casing I was surprised to see that the lightbulb was this entire unit! Don't bother with the hardware store! the good news is that just one normal screw secures it and two wires pop right off and on! Easy!

Direct fit-now you can seen whats going on in the nuke again!

As yo can tell by the photos, it comes in a small box, inside a padded envelope. Both bulbs worked, but one had a broken socket. Directions on box said to e-mail them directly. Easy to install, just as bright as orginal bulb. Also, new bulbs have exactly the same writing on base socket, as orginal. This worked in my Kenmore 405.72123310, built in 2014. Not sure how long they will work, but with the same description on old snd new, expect a long life. Just need to see if they follow through on replacing the one with the broken socket. (That's reason for a 4 star, instead of a 5 star). UPDATE: 2 Days after sending e-mail to seller, they responded with an offer to replace or refund. Since they responded so quickly, I expect them to follow through. Would give them a 5 star rating at this point!

Not expensive but work well!

If you have good sense of mechanical direction & a DIY can do spirit.This is a relatively easy task to do. Just need to get past some pesky security screws that are on most microwaves these days. Once past those, the task of changing the bulb fairly straight forward. Just be sure not to touch the glass after cleaning it. Less likely to cause a hot spot on the bulb that way.The bulbs are the correct kelvin color to view food in. & so far, have been functioning well.So as long one doesn’t slam the microwave door, I’m sure these will have a long service life.Don’t have any complaints here & make sure you have the correct bulb before making the purchase.

This light fit in my Panasonic microwave perfectly and after cooking and heating things for almost two years in darkness my Wife is very happy that she can now see inside while she is cooking morning hot cereal and other items.Did a bit of research to find this particular bulb and decided ordering two is the way to go since the original bulb only lasted about 5 or 6 years.I also watched a couple of youtube videos to see how to replace it which turned out to be the easiest part of the job. The hardest part was the fact Panasonic saw fit to useSecurity Torx screws, the six-pointed star-shaped screw heads with the pin in the middle to help prevent me from fixing my own appliance. Another youtube video showed me how to circumvent the need for buying a special screwdriver just for this one purpose - Youtube rules when it comes to helping you do things yourself and saving you the cost of buying special tools - just type in security torx screw alternative if you run into this problem.I must admit it I agree with my Wife and appreciate having the light once again. Do not hesitate in getting these bulbs versus buying the overpriced OEM bulbs!

Exact replacement for what I needed - Watched a couple U Tube Videos to refresh my memory for MW disassembly although I had replaced turntable motor a couple of years ago - 20 Minute Job just as bright as original and spares just in case I have to replace again - Call me cheap but Bidenomics has been a big strain on my retiree budget!
