Hello Victor. It is not easy, but can be done. You have to remove the outer cover to replace the bulb. Sorry, but we do not offer service at this time. We can not estimate service charges. Thank you!

Jim D. for Model Number MCO 2212 ARB

Hello, I have a Magic Chef microwave ( I think the microwave is made by E Wave ) with a Range Hood & Vent that is under the microwave in my TRAVEL TRAILER. The Range Hood has two clear light bulbs in it. The Range Hood bulb is a clear round intermediate bulb that is 125 Volt / 30 Watt. The over all length of the bulb is 2 1/4 Inch with a 5/8 screw in base that is silver in color. Please let me know if you carry the replacement bulbs for my Microwave Range Hood or where I can purchase them. If you do have the replacement bulbs - Please let me know the part number. Thank You, Jim D.

Carol, You will want to unplug the unit. With the unit unplugged you can try to use a pair of needle nose pliers to get ahold of the base and turn it out.

Ed, the correct part for the cooking surface light bulb is 8206232A based on the model number you supplied. It is a "standard" screw in type bulb (clockwise to install and counterclockwise to remove). If the bulb is broken, you can unplug the power cord, so you don't run the possibility of a short circuit, use a pair of "needle nose" pliers or flat blade screwdriver, insert the tool into the cavity of the bulb base, and turn the tool counterclockwise to turn out the bulb base. Make sure all the glass and any debris is cleared from the socket and install the new bulb.

Laura M, This light bulb is a baseless lamp so you would pull the bulb straight out.
