1515w Need to locate replacement part: harness for undercabinet lights plus 2 bulbs

Is your 68D44 lamp the Califa 21 1/2" high bronze textured outdoor post light, https://www.lampsplus.com/products/califa-21-and-one-half-inch-high-bronze-textured-glass-outdoor-post-light__68d44.html . There are four screws that hold the frame (the top section) to the body. These are close to the top of the body of the lamp. Once you remove the screws, lift up the frame part of the fixture. Now you can remove the bulb and put in a new one. Place the frame back on the body of the light and replace the screws. See the Figure 1 in the manual, https://www.lampsplus.com/products/califa-21-and-one-half-inch-high-bronze-textured-glass-outdoor-post-light__68d44.html# , to see where to locate the screws on the unit.

I hope this helps.

27oct: BKOK, replacing the light bulb is not simple, and requires a T15 security bit. Our microwave bulb blew this week, and sears on-line was not helpful, so I took the cover off and removed the bulb and the filament is blown. Here is what you need to do. Sorry, it's not easy. 1) remove the cover - this has 3 standard black phillips head screws, 2 on one side and 1 on the other. Then, there are 4 standard silver phillips heads on the back, plus two size 15 Torx screws that require a security bit to remove. 2) remove the 3 sided cover by prying the bottom and then pushing the cover towards the back of the unit to remove the latch keeping the cover secure to the front of the machine. 3) Now, there is a wiring diagram on the cover, use this to locate the bulb, but I will tell you it is on the top of the unit near the control panel. The white plastic connector has 4 wires going into it... Red, Yellow, Brown and Black. The bulb is secured with one screw and permanently attached to a trapazoidal base. The markings on my bulb say KEI, Korea, 125V,30W. 4) Remove the screw and lift the bulb assembly out and see if the filament is blown. The bulb is clear and so it's easy to see the filament. 5) I'm gonna go to local repair shop to see if they have replacements, but I usually go to AppliancePartsPro. They do have this bulb listed for under $5. , which is ok, but I hate paying shipping on such a small piece. Maybe I'll buy some other stuff. Good luck, it's not easy, and not a easy do-it-yourself bulb replacement. But if you are mechanically and electrically competant, it's not bad. But seriously, this is a lot of work to replace a light bulb. I'll take a picture and post that as well

1 Unplug the microwave oven from the outlet. Wait 20 minutes for the capacitor that is inside the microwave to discharge.
2 Unscrew all the screws around the casing by turning them counterclockwise.
3 Remove the cover by lifting off.
4 Locate the light bulb in the microwave. This will be located on either the right or left side.
5 Unscrew the light bulb by unscrewing counterclockwise. Some light bulbs are held into the socket by two notches; for these you will need to gently push on the bulb and turn counterclockwise to remove the bulb, then pull out of the socket.
6 Place your new bulb in the empty socket and secure by turning clockwise until tight, or if the bulb is one with notches on both sides, then guide the notches into the slot on the socket, push gently and turn clockwise until clicked into position.
7 Replace the cover and screw back on. You are now done and may plug back in the microwave.

We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid with a one year guarantee.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

This can often also affect the exhaust fan, cooling fan, turntable, and/or inside light operation, too.

Details of our service are at our Web site, along with a video showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Even though this post is older I will state how to replace your oven lamp. First you have to remove the outer casing a couple of philips head screws and 2 torx head screws. Next in the middle you will see the oven lamp you have bend down to see it is hooked up to a wire harness. What I did was take the screw out first holding the oven lamp assembly then wiggle the assembly out of where it is held. Now disconnect the harness and there you go. Replace lamp and reverse the instructions and now you are set to go. No reason to call a GE repairman total time est. 15 to 20 minutes.

There are several screws on the bottom panel that can be removed. After you remove them, the metal plate can be removed or just lowered at an angle. Using a flashlight, you will see the two bulbs that probably need replacing. Pull the wire down, and they can be easily removed and replaced.
Hope this helps.

Depending on the model, you might NOT be able to replace the bulb yourself.

With many microwave appliances the bulbs are located in a secure area away from the cooking area of the machine. If you look inside the oven, you should see an area that looks like a grill of sorts. This is most likely where the bulb is located and might not be readily accessible for you to replace unlike a conventional oven light bulb is.

Verify first where the bulb is located. If it is located in an enclosed area of the oven, you might need to call for onsite service from Whirlpool to replace the bulb. Most likely this is the case. And you should ask yourself:

1- Is the unit in warranty still?
2- If YES, then call Whirlpool Service to have it worked on
3- If NO, then ask yourself, how much do I really need a light, because to have someone come out and service the unit will cost about $100+ USD to get it working again.

I know this is not what you wanted to read as a solution, but it might be the only thing to do. There is no listed part number for a replacement bulb therefore, it is a service installable part only.

Hope this helps you out.

Cheers,

Keith
