Hey all:

We have a Whirlpool under counter, over stove microwave (vented
outside). *I replaced the underneath light bulb about a month back and
it quit again today. *My wife was replacing it and it popped, blew the
glass bulb out of the metal socket/base, and won't work anymore. *I
think that when she moved the bulb it shorted out inside the bulb
assembly and destroyed some circuitry inside the microwave. *I tested
the leads to the bulb socket and there is no power there. *The light
switch (soft touch button) still beeps like it's doing something when
you push it (it has three settings, off, bright, dim (night light)).
Anyone have any ideas? *Please and thanks, HDK

2 possibilities: Did you put in the right voltage bulb, ie put in a
12V bulb when its suppose to be 120V?
or possible it uses halogen bulbs and touching it with your fingers
left oil on the bulb resulting it in popping.
In any event if you have no voltage at the socket, something blew
inside.
