Customer Questions and Answers for Microwave Light Bulb by Whirlpool

Ed, the correct part for the cooking surface light bulb is 8206232A based on the model number you supplied. It is a "standard" screw in type bulb (clockwise to install and counterclockwise to remove). If the bulb is broken, you can unplug the power cord, so you don't run the possibility of a short circuit, use a pair of "needle nose" pliers or flat blade screwdriver, insert the tool into the cavity of the bulb base, and turn the tool counterclockwise to turn out the bulb base. Make sure all the glass and any debris is cleared from the socket and install the new bulb.
