Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.

Turn off power supply at breaker . Replace old bulb with new bulb .

Part of the support was missing. I had to remove the two switches and put them in the new bracket
Had the switches reversed and started blowing fuses. Reversed them and changed the fuse and it started working.

We needed a phillips head screw driver to remove the single screw holding the light bulb cover in place.
Removing the old bulbs was a little work, because they had come loose from the sockets. We unplugged the microwave, so we could grip the sockets with a tool. I think my husband used a needle nose plier for this.
The new bulbs screwed in easily, and then we refastened the light bulb cover with the phillips head screw driver.

easy to replace, just the same as cleaning the turntable and placing back in the micorwave;

Washed the glass tray and put in the microwave oven. Easy..

I removed the broken tray and ring-turn and replaced it with the new

screwed in new bulb

Rep knew exactly what I needed when I described where the part should go on my microwave - price great - shipping great - installed in seconds. Thank you!

Unplug the microwave. Then remove the six screws that hold the lower panel which has the light bulb cover and a couple of vent filters. The light bulb sockets are on a fixture that is connected by a quick connect electrical connector. Disconnect that and the whole panel is free to access the bulbs. My bulbs were very fragile and trying to twist them out resulted in the glass twisitng loose with the base still in the sockets. I needed to use a needle nose pliers to remove the bases and then I replaced the bulbs and put every thing back together

Husband replaced the bulb

Spouse just screwed in the new bulb and reinstalled the light cover plate with the two screws. Took under a minute. Works great.
