Questions & Answers

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

Cheryl B. for Model Number WMH2175XVB2

I have an over the range Whirlpool Microwave oven. The light has burned out. I found a bulb that is compatible with the model number, but was wondering, it has a high & low option for the light. Is there 2 bulbs involved, & if so what would the low wattage be? I know the one that is compatible says it is 40 watts. If I do need 2 bulbs, could you tell me the number of the lower voltage that is compatible so I can order both @ the same time? Thank you for your help.

Cheryl, light bulb part number 8206232A is used on the interior of the microwave. The light bulb that shines down on the cooktop is part number 8206232A. The bulb doesn't have different filaments, the high and low option is determined by the power sent to the bulb. Thanks.
