Questions & Answers

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

1 Answer

Angie, If you're using a 40 watt 120 VAC appliance light bulb, you're using the correct part, Are you sure your installing the bulb snugly, but not too tight, and did you notice if the wiring and socket are tight and mounted properly. Don't use the hood light as a "night" light" that really shortens the life of the bulb. You may want to use a dab of vaseline on the end and the threads of the new bulb. Thanks and Good Luck
