This 40w light bulb is a replacement bulb constructed of glass and metal. It is an easy-to-install electrical part which produces 40w of light.

To access the exterior light bulb,...Read more you will need to remove the panel on the bottom of the microwave using a Phillips screwdriver. If your exterior light bulb has not been changed before, it is probably held in place with some silicone. You will need to cut away this silicone to remove the old bulb. If you cannot access the silicone with a utility knife, it can be removed using dental floss. Once the silicone is removed, simply unscrew the old bulb, and replace it with the new one. Be sure to disconnect the power to the microwave before you begin this repair. This light bulb measures about 1 1/8 inches. We do not recommend using a higher-wattage bulb for this appliance, and can only recommend this specific bulb. If fixing the bulb does not solve your microwave light issue, it's possibly a problem with the socket, which means the socket and/or board will need to be replaced. This can be a more dangerous repair, so consult your user manual or a technician before attempting.

Portable generator was connected to the main power panel of the house apparently the connection was wrong to the point that i presume 220 volts reach the 120 volts receptacles and since that time the micro wave dont turn on and theres no light in the display.I verify the fuses (2) for continuity and are ok.
what parts could be damage or need reemplace?
thanks
Hello Luis, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the door switches first and if they are found to be ok, the issue is most likely the main control board Control, Electric Part #: PS11756441. I hope this helps!

When I attempt to turn the microwave on, the interior light blinks and nothing happens. Everything else works normally, ie. fan, lights, etc. Have replaced all three door micro switches.
Hi Victor,
Thank you for your question. If you have replaced the door switches and the microwave will still not turn on, there are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will also need to check the line fuse, the light socket, the interlock support, the interlock spring and the cam plate. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Ordered top & bottom micro-switches and mounting plate parts. Internet reviews could not find specifics if the issue was due to a top/bottom or combination of micro-switch or mounting plate failure. Pulled the plug. Removed the top vent assembly cover held in by 2 Phillips screws inside the vent. Removed the control panel held in by 1 P
... Read morehillip screw at the top vent assembly area. Lifted control panel upward to release the catch and moved it off to the side - didn't disconnect any leads. Used a Torx bit to remove the door switch mounting plates at the front and pulled the plates through the opening from the control panel. Documented the wire color code connections, the top plate uses 2 micro's with one using both the closed & open contact. Installed the respective micros on the mounting plates and worked backwards with the wiring and removal steps. Once completed, the open/close sensing has worked every time.
