Connie Z. for Model Number WMH1163XVS-3 I was very proud of myself for replacing the hard to access exterior light bulb on my Whirlpool microwave. It has two settings and appears to work fine, however I’ve noticed it seems to get very hot thru the exterior glass panel covering it. I don’t recall it getting so hot before I replaced it. Old bulb had 25V 40W on the base. Can you confirm I am using the correct bulb? I bought AP4512653 from your site. Thanks.
Answer Connie Yes, this light bulb is recommended by Whirlpool as a replacement part. There are two options for you: do not use it longer than you need to check something on the stovetop or take it to a local hardware store to try to find a light bulb for 25W. Read More...
