Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool 40W Light Bulb (Part Number: OEM13537968)

1 Answer

Hello Prashant, The F2 fault code normally indicates an issue with the touchpad. You should pull the units' tech sheet from the appliance and verify this is the issue. I'm sorry but we could not pull the information on this Kenmore since Sears does not share much of their information. I'm sorry but this part 8205638 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided.

Rob, Yes, the 8206232A / 8206232A light bulb is the correct part to order for the model number you supplied. It is rated for 120 VAC/ 40 watts and should work in your machine.

Cher, Make sure you unplug the power cord or remove power to the microwave, first. Insert a small pair of needle nose pliers into the center of the remaining bulb base. Spread the pliers so the points grasp the inside of the base and turn the pliers counter clockwise, until the bulb base is backed out enough to grasp the base and remove the remainder of the base(you will want to wear gloves for that step). When you install the new bulb, you may want to apply a thin coat of dielectric grease to the bulb base, it will help to keep the base from seizing to the socket.
