NEED TO CHANGE LIGHT BULB IN A OVERHEAD GE MICROWAVE
2 Other Users Have The Same Problem
Comment by fletchej, posted on Jul 16, 2008
I have a GE jvm1842 microwave. I need to change a bad cooktop/night light bulb. According to the manual, I break an adhesive seal and remove the bulb by gently turning. I've never seen an instalation of a light bulb like this. The light bulb seal is broken, and the bulb just spins in place. I'm afraid to apply pressure as I don't want to break the bulb. I haven't purchased the new bulb yet. How would the I install the new one? Does it get glued in??

Dear Carluc
Right for this one, it is essential that you unplug the oven from the mains and leave it to dissipate any electrical current certainly for 6 hours. Once you have done this, you wil to get yourself a phillips head 6mm screwdiver and unfasten the screws on the back that hold the casing cover to the chassis. This will expose the enternal components, then all you simply need to do, is find the lightbulb, unclip this from the holder and then replace it with one of the same make and model. Fitting and re-assembly is as straightforward as it is taking the unit to bits.
go to http://www.google.com and type in GE Microwave lightbulb........this will get you the details about the bulb, and use the same google search to get your service sheet/ disassembly guide. Easy as 1,2,3.
Hope this works for you and please contact me here if you need further assistance in this or any other matter that is of a technical nature.
Yours sincerely
