Hi Greg. You will need to remove power. Then unscrew the bottom cover and allow it to hinge downward. Then inspect the base wires and sockets. If it had sparked , it will allow you to see where the short area is and has left a black mark against the cavity. The socket is part # 56001070. The bulb is part # 8206232A. Thank You.

Hello Judy. The cooktop bulbs W10709921 are 25 watts. You can not use a larger bulb for the unit. Sorry. They pull out and push in to remove and install. Hope this helps.

Hello Joe. The bulb 8206232A can be used as a three way, if the unit has a high and medium and low setting on the model number you provided. This is the correct bulb for the unit. The manufactre does not call it a 3 way, just the lamp basles. Hope this helps.
