Estate Microwave Light, Bulb, Lamp

The 40W Light Bulb is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwave ovens. It is a standard-size bulb designed to provide illumination inside the microwave cavity, allowing you to easily view and monitor the cooking or reheating process.

Symptoms of a faulty microwave light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light during operation
• Complete bulb failure or no illumination within the cavity
• Discoloration or physical damage to the bulb itself

Causes of a bad microwave light bulb can include normal wear and tear over time, electrical surges or voltage fluctuations, or physical impact or vibration during use.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore microwave oven models.

The Light Socket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwaves. This socket holds and supplies power to the light bulb inside the microwave, illuminating the interior when the door is opened or when the microwave is in use. It ensures that users can easily monitor the cooking process and check the condition of the food.

Over time, the light socket can become worn out or damaged due to regular use, electrical surges, or the heat generated within the microwave. Corrosion or buildup on the contacts can also impair the socket’s ability to provide a stable connection to the light bulb, leading to intermittent or complete failure of the light.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The interior light not turning on when the door is opened or during operation
• Flickering or dimming of the light
• The light bulb frequently burning out
• Electrical arcing or sparking from the socket area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This lamp holder, also called a light socket, secures the bulb and provides the electrical connection so the appliance light works reliably. Replace a heat-damaged or loose socket to restore steady illumination.

• Holds the bulb in place and provides electrical contacts
• Helps fix a light that won't turn on, flickers, or works intermittently
• Addresses signs of heat damage, arcing, or a burnt/melted socket
• Ensures proper bulb seating for consistent lighting

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the area to cool and handle glass bulbs with care
• Transfer wires to the new holder one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Microwaves contain high-voltage components; avoid internal access unless properly trained
