Buy GE 40W 130V Microwave Light Bulb WB36X10003 Now
I have only had these bulbs for a few weeks and one of them is dimming already. Also they were advertised as GE Brand and they are not.Read Best Reviews of GE 40W 130V Microwave Light Bulb WB36X10003 Here
I have uploaded some pictures (5 to be exact) to show the microwave we put the bulb in, the old bulb and the new bulb along with the glass it broke. We dont use the lights all the time or as a night light. Only when we cook and then let the bulb stay on for a short time afterwards maybe. Its the same thing we have done for the past 8 years that we have had the microwave. This was the first time we had to replace the bulb in the unit. 8 years compared to less than 8 days. Something is apparently wrong with this one bulb or this model of bulbs. I am going to file a claim with the seller to replace the glass that was broke. It is rather expensive but we need to have it to keep stuff from getting into the socket. I placed wax paper up there but my wife refuses to cook on the range until it has a new bulb and replacement glass.**UPDATE** December 23, 2012
I sent a complaint to the 3rd party selling this bulb expressing our concern that it blew out in a few days and damaged our microwave. The short of the response we got was that they didn't make the bulb. I would stay away from this bulb and the seller at all costs. At this point I have an irate wife who refuses to cook on the range until it is fixed. If you have a home supply center in town, I would take your make, model and SN of your appliance and check with them instead, that's what I plan to do now. :-(
Understand, I hold nothing against Amazon, only the seller. The application for the bulb matched my microwave so it should have been fine but wasn't. Now I have about a hundred or so dollars worth of damage to fix out of my own pocket...not worth it... I realize this was through A-1 appliance, but Amazon has them on their website, so I blame them as much as A-1. The bulb arrived in a box packed with magazine pages for "padding." There was no receipt, no packing slip etc.., so when i opened the box and realized they sent me the wrong item, I didn't know how to return it, or even a receipt to check what they sent. pay a few extra bucks and get it from a reputable company. A-1 is a good steak sauce, but they are an awful part supplier
