Can you use a 40 watt bulb in a microwave?

This 40 Watt Microwave Light Bulbs are the perfect replacement bulbs for most GE microwaves and Whirlpool ovens. They illuminate microwave ovens with a light output of 370 lumens.

Typically, when you get a bulb that burns out quickly, it’s either because you have a loose connection, you have a loose ground or you have a problem with the voltage that’s going in there. Sometimes, depending on what’s happening with the power company, you could be getting, say, more than 120 volts.

Twist the glass light bulb cover to remove it. Wearing protective gloves, gently remove the bulb from its housing. If stuck, gently apply pressure to twist or pull the bulb until it is dislodged. Take care in case the bulb breaks when you apply pressure.
