Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This bulb burns out fast. Unfortunately, for some reason, whirlpool decided to mount the bulb socket so that the easy-to-find but longer 40 watt appliance bulb doesn't fit. You can either keep buying only this bulb, or simply change the angle of the socket and use the longer bulbs. Simply unscrew about 8 or so screws on the bottom of your microwave and you'll be able to access the light socket. It's held in by one screw. Remove this screw which will allow you to move the socket from being perpendicular to the light slot to simply sitting in the light slot in a parallel fashion. The wires are long enough that there is plenty of length to relocate the socket. The socket won't be mounted into anything but will just sit on the glass access panel that lets the light shine on the stove. This will give you easy access to replace the bulb and also allow you to buy the longer bulbs that are easy to find in any store.
