This incandescent lamp is sourced from the original manufacturer, for use in microwaves and ovens. It illuminates the interior of the appliance cavity allowing you to view the food as it cooks or heats. It is typically located behind a panel or a cover inside the microwave/oven. Like any light bulb, the lamp can simply burn out over time. However, it is also possible that the lamp socket or wiring may be damaged resulting in an electrical failure. Before beginning any replacement, ensure that the appliance is unplugged. Remove the old lamp from its socket and inspect the assembly to ensure it is in good condition. Insert the new lamp in the socket and make sure it is seated correctly before repositioning the panel/cover. Plug the appliance back in to verify that the new lamp is functioning.

Installation successful, though with slight imperfection
The bulb I received was very slightly different than the original, in that the original had the male connection lugs pointed straight up, while the replacement had them angled to the side. When attaching the female connector, there was a slight interference with the bulb mounting housing, so the bulb is installed slightly crookedly. Functionally, it works well, though the installation is not 'elegant'.

The light bulb went out
Remove the rear casing of the microwave using both a Phillips head screw driver. The lower rear screws require a star shaped bit with a hole in the middle (security bit). Once the rear casing is removed, it is very easy to access and replace the bulb. But the bulb sent was NOT identical to the original which has a straight fitting into

Interior bulb was burned out, turntable internal gear was stripped, and turntable ass'y wheel kept falling off
Motor was simple. Just snip out the bottom cover plate, disconnect the electrical connector, and unscrew the motor. Reverse to reinstall new motor. Rotate the cut out cover plate 180 degrees, fit tabs through slots, and screw back into place.
The bulb replacement required the side/top/side shell be removed. Only surprise was
... Read morethat some of the attachment screws were tamper-proof torx, so I had to buy a set of tp torx bits to take it apart. They are readily available online for < $10 for a set. They look like a standard torx bit, but with a small hole drilled into the center to accommodate the tamper-proof pin.The bulb assembly has a roughly diamond shaped attachment flange, and you need to use a screwdriver to press plastic spring tabs at each end to release the bulb.
