How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP4380308 / WB25X10019 Halogen Light Bulb

This was the first time I had ordered parts from your site but it was relatively easy. The part arrived the day after I ordered and I simply installed it in two seconds, By using your site my microwave was running perfectly in one day. I saved a lot of time and money by not having to call a repairman. Thank you for the great service. 

Replaced light bulb. Super fast shipping on light bulb. Received it overnight! 

Myself: drop down glass plate, replace burned out diode halogen two prong bulb. Be careful with the prongs. They don't seat easily. You can bend down the socket housing to face you so that you can see how to insert the fragile prongs. This is a sorry patent for lighting, both exterior and interior. Challenging, because of the pronged socket fittings and the prong type halogen bulbs (2). 

Ordered new filters 

This was a no brainer repair. A single Phillips screw to remove the light bulb housing and a little prying on the metal holding tabs to slide in the new glass lens. The longest and most tedious task was removing all of the broken glass. It seemed the previous halogen bulbs imploded after (presumably) getting to hot and wearing over time. 

I unscrewed the door covering the lightbulbs and inserted the new bulb. 

Dropped unit about six inches by support bolts (cabinet access) and replaced socket light assembly, replaced stovetop bulbs, replaced motorized vent grill. Replaced interior light bulb. I think it defies common sense but you have to drop the unit from its moorings to replace the interior bulb. Owner's manual says it is a two-man job, which compounds this engineering debacle. Actually you can lower it rather than completely deinstall. I had also not been able to replace the stovetop bulbs, which are accessible (with difficulty) by removing the lens from below so I checked the light assembly sockets, which had obviously been damaged during first install. After replacing assembly bulbs seated easily. The halogen bulbs must be seated with care so as not to damage the assembly socket. Actually quite easy when taken one step at a time. 

I put it off for sometime, finally found a you tube video that showed the steps. Getting the correct bulb was easy from this site. I will admit I tried the local hardware store with no luck. 

I ordered a replacement bulb, which came quickly, and installed it when I had a chance, only to find out that I actually needed two bulbs. I ordered a second bulb. I got both a phone call and an email from a customer service rep at AppliancePartsPros.com, asking whether the first bulb had perhaps not been received. They noticed I had ordered the same part twice within a short time, and wanted to be sure that (A) the first bulb had arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition, and (B)I had not simply made a duplicate order without meaning to. I am impressed with this level of personal attention and will buy from AppliancePartsPros.com again in the future. 

I removed the light bulbs and was unable to tell the difference between the two types once removed. I contacted Appliance Parts Pros to inquire which bulbs I needed and they able to verify the two necessary types of bulbs as well as facilitate an order in under five minutes. Awesome and convenient customer service.
