Need cooktop light bulb for microwave WMH31017HZ05 serial TRX4651166 please let me know bulb number and wattage
Hi, I have just had my microwave light bulb replaced by my local electrician but it seems a bit
dull ? My microwave is a Kenwood K30GMS18 900 watt 30 litre with a grill. I wondered if I could get a brighter bulb or the max wattage, I think the current bulb is 15 watt but it sems rather dull. I did order one off a website advertising Kenwood at 20 watts but my electrician said the screw thread was too thick diameter, so it seems the diameter is also a factor also. I
have tried contacting Kenwood but I need to talk to a good technician that knows what they are
talking about. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Dennis
I am in Ecuador. I need a bulb for a vent hood, Hove model AH0476, it is a 40watt. I don’t have one to compare as it was gone when I moved in. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
The 40-watt A15 bulb in my Kenmore oven/range has almost no room around its cavity and cannot be gripped on its sides with my fingers. Do you have a tool that will grip that size bulb where it is located so it can be safely removed.
Suction cup? Other? How that placement could have been designed that way is beyond me.
Also, is it true that a brass-base bulb is better so it will not fuse with the socket?
Thank you.
I have a microwave above my stove. The light that needs to be replaced is the light under the microwave that shines on the stove top. The microwave details are as follows :
Model # : AMV2307PFS-0
Serial # : TR 7 02 13956
I did not have a light bulb when I moved in, so I have nothing to compare it to. Any help is appreciated.
Tom Gorkoff,
You may have a bad bulb, bad wiring in the dryer to the light bulb socket or the dryer needs a 10 watt appliance bulb.

I replaced a dead 10 watt dryer light bulb with a new 6 watt bulb. The light will not go on?
