How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP3180923 / 8204670 Lamp

Light control in the off position, remove lens cover retaining screw (I used a small Phillips screwdriver) dropped the light fixture, (the wires allow about 6 inches of free play) disengaged the light socket to allow easy removal and replacement of the bulb, reinstalled the socket, turned on the switch to insure that the bulb illuminated and reinstalled the lens cover. I would advise using a tissue to handle the replacement bulb as oil from your fingers transferred to the bulb can shorten it's life span. 

Dropped lamp panel with one screw (Torx driver required). Plugged new bulb in (2 prong bulb). CAUTION: Halogen bulb requires special handling. 

Replacement part ordered and received rom appliance Parts Pro. Easy to install. 

I was able to fix the rusted out burner by taking out two screws to remove it. The new burner fit perfectly, replaced it and it fired right up. The bulb required taking out one small screw and the light cover came off. Removing the bulb required a very small screwdriver to loosen the bulb. I replaced the bulb and the light worked. 

Simply replaced it. 

Took cover off, put in new bulb. Was happy bulb not broken in shipping. Packaged poorly. 

Replaced with bulbs which were exactly the ones needed, and were received earlier than promised. 

After looking at several web sites that carried parts for Kitchen Aid, I found the AppliancePartsPros web site. It was easy to navigate and I quickly located the lamp I thought I needed. (The old bulb did not have a part number on it.) Best of all there was a search window where by entering the model number of the appliance I could verify that I had chosen the right part. This was very important because owing to the small size of the bulb I couldn't be 100% sure from the picture that I had chosen the right bulb. The price and shipping were fair. My order arrived sooner than I expected. It was easy to reinstall the bulb. I was very impressed with the ease of use of the web site, the fact that the odd part I needed was in stock, and that the whole transaction went so well. I would highly recommend this company - and I do not make statements like that lightly. Thanks, folks! 

I order my parts from appliance part pros extant service delivered parts over night I was impressed removed all the screws that held the base in place when base came down all the lights were exposed replaced the bulbs put it all back together now we have lights and new filters... 

They were the exact match perfect works like brand new again.
