Description
The Socket Lamp is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in microwaves. Located inside the cavity, this lamp illuminates the interior when the door opens. Constructed from heat-resistant materials, it reliably lights the way for viewing cooked foods.
Symptoms of a faulty Socket Lamp may include failure to illuminate the cavity when the door is opened.
Causes of issues can be normal wear of filaments over extended use, moisture damage if exposed to splatters/spills, or physical impact-breaking connections.
The symptoms of a bad Socket Lamp are:
- The inside of the microwave remains dark when the door opens
- Difficulty monitoring the progress of heated items
- Inability to view the placement of dishes inside the cavity
- Burned spots occurring due to lack of visibility
This OEM Whirlpool replacement restores consistent lighting to facilitate use. Compatible models include some Kenmore and select KitchenAid built-in microwaves also. Replacing improves the cooking experience.
