Default Appliance Bulb Filament Continuity

The light in my GE microwave quit coming on so after pulling the case
apart to get at it (great design, guys!), the filament of this 25 watt
plug in bulb looks intact. However, a meter across the two male terminal
spades shows no continuity.

There's power at the connector supplying the light when the door is open
or the oven is running-- so that's not the problem. Could the bulb be bad
even when it shows continuity?




*NO continuity equals a broken filament. Replace the bulb.
