Jennifer W North Wales , PA December 14, 2020 Appliance: Whirlpool 1.7 Cu Ft Microwave WMH32517AS0 Whirlpool Microwave Wmh32517as0 / : Blown lightbulb and damaged bulb socket. How to replace Microwave Light Socket. Ordered new light socket and replacement light bulb. I found simple directions for making the repair. I wish I had a second pair of hands a couple of times to shine a flashlight into the area. Low lighting made the repair take longer. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
