Microwave Light Bulb
Find the correct microwave light bulb by matching the appliance model, original part number, wattage, voltage and bulb base. The current selection includes halogen, incandescent and G9-style lamps used for microwave interiors and over-the-range cooktop lighting.
A microwave bulb replacement must match more than its brightness or general shape. Bulbs with the same wattage can use different bases, glass sizes, terminal styles or operating voltages. Some are designed to illuminate the cooking cavity, while others fit the underside of an over-the-range microwave to light the cooktop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. The two positions can require different wattages, voltages, bases or bulb shapes. Confirm the lighting position and part number for the exact microwave model.
Use only a bulb specified for the appliance model. A household bulb may have the wrong base, heat tolerance, wattage or voltage and may not fit the microwave’s enclosed light housing.
Start with the microwave model number and original bulb part number. Then match the wattage, voltage, base, glass shape and whether the bulb serves the interior or cooktop light.
Only use an LED replacement when the microwave manufacturer or a verified parts listing explicitly confirms compatibility with the model, socket and electrical specifications.
Do not remove the outer cabinet. Microwaves contain high-voltage components that can remain hazardous. Follow the manual and use a qualified service technician for non-user-serviceable lighting.
