WB36X10131 - GE Microwave Bulb

This GE Microwave Bulb (WB36X10131) is an authentic GE part, designed specifically for various GE microwaves. It is also known as an 'oven lamp,' skillfully crafted to provide interior illumination within your appliance's cooking chamber. The bulb connects via a socket wired to the microwave's power supply. When activated, it lights up the interior, allowing you to clearly view and monitor your cooking foods.

The construction involves a durable base made from black plastic and a glass lamp, ensuring it fits perfectly and functions seamlessly within your microwave. As it is sourced directly from GE, compatibility with your GE microwave model is ensured, promoting straightforward replacement. When the bulb fails, direct replacement is required; the filament or LED diode needs energization to emit light, supported by an opaque lens that diffuses and directs the lighting for optimal visibility.

Symptoms of a failing microwave bulb include the lack of interior visibility, difficulty in monitoring cooking progress, or complete darkness within the cooking chamber, indicating it's time for a replacement. For safety, reference your owner's manual for installation guidelines, especially considering the high-voltage capacitors inside microwaves can retain a lethal electrical charge even when unplugged. Before purchasing, check your device's model number to confirm compatibility.
