Awesome & thanks for watching & sharing this. Great job on your DIY project, a rewarding feeling for sure as you concurred it & saved money...& you have the satisfaction knowing it was done right. Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. 😎👍
Thank you !!! I had no idea how to do this including what type of bulb to buy. your video directions rock! I have the identical microwave. So nice of you to do this video and in such a friendly way for those of us who don't know how to it. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the video. I got the T7 15w LED at home depot however when I installed them it seems that only the high setting gives any light. The low setting the bulbs are on but so low it is almost no light. The guy actually recommended T7 40w LED. I guess I should have listened but I went with the video. Do you have any issues with the lower setting using the 15w LED bulbs or do you not use it at all ?
Excellent. However, when I removed the old appliance light bulb, (I was careful), but the cap/stem stayed in the socket. What can I do to remove the cap from the socket?

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We recommend unplugging unit prior to changing bulb. Keep us posted on your project. Thanks Bekah. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. First you will want to make sure that the microwave is unplugged. They do actually make specific tool to remove broken bulbs from sockets. If you move forward with removing bulb without the specific tool, be extra careful. Keep us posted on your project.
Have ge over stove microwave with broken socket. Brought new socket with model number but can't get old socket loose from the wires, don't want to break thing. It's hanging loose took out screws no release tabs just won't budge from wire connectors. Any ideas
Finger oils on bulbs...is only an issue when dealing with tungsten/halogen bulbs made of quartz that can degrade from finger contaminates. They're quartz because regular glass could melt from the heat of the high-wattage filament in a halogen bulb. LEDs don't get very hot at all and indeed some LED "bulbs" even have envelopes made of plastic. I've seen this unnecessary warning several times.
I have the same microwave and when I tried taking the lightbulb out it looks like only the glass bulb is coming out an bit the metal part.. any advise on how to get the metal part out?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Next step is the absolute most important step of your remaining project. DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE MICROWAVE IS 100% UNPLUGGED & ALL ELECTRICAL POWER IS 100% CUT/REMOVED. You can then carefully use a RUBBER coated grip tool such as pliers to grab ahold of broken part & remove it. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community. We went to Lowes. Also, a special thanks to you for taking the time out of your Monday morning to share this comment. It means the world to us. 😎👍
I have changed bulbs over and over, different brands, neither will turn in. Stove had to have panel replaced and company doing ;the repair on the stove said microwave lights were not getting power. Would not fix this because they said they don't "do lights". Do you think it is the circuit board inside the microwave or something else?
I have a question? I turned light off when I changed the bulb. The bulb came on as soon as I put it in, when the light was off. Do you have any idea what’s going on??
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Great question & you may have had the circuit still turned on in the lower dim setting. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Most important thing to do first is verify microwave is 100% unplugged from outlet. You may need to visit your local hardware store where you can find a specific tool to remove base that’s stuck inside socket. We have had other viewers mention they used pliers however again you must verify 100% of all electrical power is removed from microwave. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. By chance do you see any rust or corrosion on the inner socket where are the light bulb secures into? Rust and corrosion will destroy the efficient electrical connection and lead to your units symptoms.
Old Gregg Thanks for watching. We always recommend wearing gloves to alleviate any smudges or finger oils on bulb...more so for the old style bulbs that give off heat. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thanks so much for the video. I have a similar microwave and the same bulb on the left side was burnt out. When I opened the cavity to replace, I found the bulb had broken. I have tried using needle nose pliers to remove but no luck. That swinging door makes it difficult to remove the base. Any suggestions? Thanks so much
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You may be able to purchase this bulb online. Keep us posted. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩
Good morning, we recommend unplugging microwave to cut all electrical power to unit. After that, it will be safe to replace bulbs. That’s how we would approach the unknown switch position and bulb state. Keep us posted.
I have this lg microwave, almost same model but the bottom light bulb is different. You access it the same way here but instead of a bulb it's flat with one part that lights up. Module P/N: LLHMC46-03H*01A
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you reaching out to us. We have really enjoyed this model microwave. Let us know if you have any questions. Hope all is well. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders yeah, you are right. I didn't get dimmable bulbs because I didn't even think of it. It's been so long since bulbs worked in that thing that I hadn't used it and forgot that there's three settings, bright, night, and off. My new bulbs should arrive today
That’s no fun, it’s possible that corrosion is present inside connection making it very difficult to remove. Most hardware stores sell a very specific tool for getting broken bulbs out of sockets.
