Trying to change the light bulb on my kenmore microwave model #72162369200. How do you get to it?

Not sure on your model but my Kenmore Microwave has the bulb up above the plastic ceiling inside.
It's semi-rigid so you flex it slightly and the tangs come free and it comes down.

Microwave light bulb out

This is simple, and "FixYa" technical staff has clearly not looked at our model.

Take off the vent across the top (three long screws) to expose a single screw over the keypad.

Remove the single screw, and the whole keypad consile will lift up and off, likely hanging by a plastic tab/support on the bottom.

Now you can twist the light bulb plug to remove it from the support structure, change the bulb, and replace all that you've done.

Simple.

Microwave, convection R930AK turntable will not turn and microwave will not cook. inside light works

That would be a defective secondary (lower) door switch or possibly the door switch mount is loose or misaligned.

We have the service manual for this model and have uploaded it to our site here to help you.

You will need the free Adobe Reader to view or print it.

The best place to order Sharp parts is Tritronics.

GE microwave interior light bulb replacement.

Your post has two distinct model numbers shown, so it's hard to be precise, but I'll try my best.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

I have a diagram at my site which helps you find & replace many GE cooktop and cavity light bulbs. Other models are similar. It's at
http://207.234.249.73/mwd/ge_lamp_replacement.jpg

Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs!

If it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and see if bulbs can be accessed there.

There may be a panel on the bottom covering the light(s), too.

If not, chances are you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover.

Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

If yours is an Advantium type, the following instructable should help: http://www.instructables.com/id/SZFF4WSF44XYT8X/?comments=all

Sharp MICROWAVE CONVECTION R-8465

I fixed it by reading how to fix another model. What you do is take the cover off, the bulb is on top. Make sure that you unplug it before starting.

Ummmm I feel stupid

The manual is on the Emerson site at:
http://www.emersonradio.com/owners/MWO%20manual/MW8115SS.PDF

But it doesn't seem to mention a way for you to change the lamp.

Manufacturers used to include access panels in the rear or side so you could easily change the bulb. That exposed the customer to 110V connectors, and that posed a real liability threat, so they stopped using them.

You now must generally remove the outer cover to replace the bulb.

If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
