Oven light bulbs often use a 40-watt incandescent bulb. Fridge light bulbs are typically 40- or 60-watt or T8 with an intermediate base. Microwave ovens often require a 25-watt T7 microwave light bulb. Dryers often use a 10-watt, 120-volt C7 bulb.

G8 and GY8 light bulbs are bi-pin bulbs with a gap of 8mm (millimeters) between the pin. The difference between G8 and GY8 bulbs is the pin length. G8 Bulbs – pin length is 8 mm, where the GY8 pin is 8.5mm. The pin thickness is the same as 1 mm for both G8 and GY8 bulbs.

There’s no need to replace the whole microwave, you can just fix the light if you know how to do it. The microwave light can be located in one of two places, so the replacement steps vary. The bulb could be either inside the chamber or tucked in the cabinet, accessed through the back.
