8211628 - GE Microwave Bulb

This GE Microwave Bulb (8211628) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE microwaves but is also compatible with select KitchenAid and Whirlpool models. It screws into sockets wired to power within the appliance, utilizing either an incandescent or LED design to illuminate the cooking chamber. This feature enables users to clearly monitor cooking foods without opening the door, preserving heat and cooking efficiency. When the bulb fails, it requires direct replacement since energizing the filament or diode is essential for producing light. Common symptoms indicating the bulb may need to be replaced include a lack of interior visibility or the light not activating when the microwave is in use. Before purchasing, customers are advised to confirm their device's model number aligns with the bulb's specifications for a compatible fit.
