Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Light Bulb (Part Number: OEM18048528)

1 Answer

Hello Joe, you will have to turn off power to the oven first, then uninstall the entire double oven, pull it out about 1/2 way and remove the top front outer service panel, disconnect wire harnesses as needed, remove boards/components as needed to get to the mw light bulb, take pics of where everything is located. You may need to completely remove the entire double oven out of the cabinet if there is not enough access by removing just the front service cover. There is no easy way to access the mw bulb due to where it is located..

Hello Debra, The power should always be turned off before performing any service to an appliance fort your own persona safety. If you are just replacing the bulb you can pry off the light lens with a small screwdriver or butter knife. Be sure to only touch the bulb with a rag or paper towel since oil from your skin on the bulb glass will cause premature bulb failure.

Annemette, "To Replace the oven light bulb: Before replacing the bulb, make sure the oven is off and cool. 1. Disconnect power. 2. Remove glass light cover by grasping the front edge and pulling away from oven. 3. Remove bulb from socket. 4. Replace bulb, using tissue or wearing cotton gloves to handle bulb. Do not touch bulb with bare fingers. 5. Replace bulb cover by snapping back into wall. 6. Reconnect power." You may want to use a putty knife or other flat blade tool to raise the front edge of the glass cover to make it easier to remove, just be very careful.
