Questions & Answers

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

1 Answer

Need Light, You will want to test the socket to make sure that there is 120 vac getting to them. If there is then try to tighten the bulbs just a little bit more and see if they come on. If there is not then the issue would most likely be with the control board not sending power to the sockets.

Hello Dorian, The only part we can recommend is the one the manufacturer recommends 8206232A. This is the one the unit is designed to use. If the bulbs are burning out prematurely, I would recommend checking for a loose receptacle or a voltage issue to the home from the transformer, (this can be checked with a voltmeter at the receptacles in the home and corrected by the local utility board).

Hello John, When you unplug the microwave, use a flashlight and needle nosed pliers to reach inside the light socket and grab the thin edge and turn. It should come out. If it bends in such a manner that causes it to be stuck to the pliers, use another pair of pliers to remove it since it is sharp and will cut you badly. If you cannot remove it in this manner, you may need to replace the light socket W10210871.

Hello Norm, I'm sorry but, Whirlpool did not list any screws on this model. These screws, if I remember correctly, are very similar to the ones hold the cover that extends up one side, across the top and down the other side. You can borrow one of them and locate one for the cover later. I would check for a replacement screw at a place that repairs appliances.
