Remove 1 screw, remove light bulb and replace and replace screw. No problem.

The Halogen Light Bulbs for lighting the area below the microwave seemed to be burned out. I order new bulbs but by the time they arrived the old bulbs appeared to be working again. Not sure why this happened but I have new bulbs if they become burned out for good at some point.

Ridiculously easy, unscrew, and change bulbs. Having the correct bulbs made all the difference, I did not have to waste time looking for the correct one.

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

Removed screw holding faceplate that covered bulbs. Next inserted new bulbs into sockets.
Turned on surface light to insure they worked - they did. Re-attached faceplate.

Removed old bulbs replaced with new. Bulb fit perfect thank you

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

Inside "cavity" bulb was a PITA. Need to remove top decorative trim (2 screws and tabs) to access bulb housing. Broke 1 screw tab so be careful (Wiggle it more). Acccess to bulb housing was made for younger smaller hands, attached by 1 screw. Remove screw, rotate housing, replace bulb. Reverse proceedure. Outside bulb, cake...1 screw, drop lens replace bulb, your done.

Removed the glass shield and inserted the 2 bulbs. Then replaced the glass shield.

The staff were terrific. Thanks so much as it had a happy ending.
