✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No illumination from the underside cooktop light
• Dim or flickering cooktop light
• Bulb appears darkened, damaged, or separated from its base
• Replacement bulb still does not work, suggesting a possible socket, wiring, control, or power issue

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the microwave’s cooktop-light control is set to a lighting level that should illuminate the bulb.
• Turn off power to the microwave at the plug or circuit breaker before inspecting the bulb and socket.
• Visually inspect the bulb for a broken filament, darkening, physical damage, or a loose/separated base.
• With power disconnected, check that the bulb is seated in the socket and that the socket threads are not visibly corroded.
• If the bulb appears intact, a qualified person may check bulb continuity with a multimeter; do not access or test the microwave’s high-voltage circuitry.
