Bulb went out, turned the bulb the wrong way trying to get it out, glass bulb came out but base stayed in socket. Finally got base out, got a new bulb at Lowe's, installed the bulb and it won't come on. I removed the base plate to inspect the socket thinking there may have been a burnt wire. Socket and wires seem to be okay. What else can I look for?

Hello Jennings, Thank you for the question. It could be the incorrect bulb, we recommend replacing the Bulb with a OEM Bulb, PartSelect Number PS2376034. If this does not fix the issue, you can test the wiring and socket with a Multimeter to make sure they were not shorted out, they will not always show physical damage.
I am so upset right now. My light bulb went out and tried my damnedest to get the screw out. It was in so tight...i used several phillips screw drivers and all it did was strip the screw.i i could not for the life of me...get it open. i was so angry after wrestling with it for over 45 minutes...i went and got the biggest screw driver i have and destroyed the plate. it is now so badly bent i will probably have to replace not only the light bulb but the plate too. i got to the light bulb...and tried to get it out...it did not unscrew...it came out with the elements only. i want advice on what to do now...how to fix the damned thing...and what you will do about this difficulty. like i said...i tried to follow the video example...and it failed...big time. why in gods name was this screw put in sooo tight that you can't get it out. this was a major purchase in november 2018 for me...and now...needless to say...i am at my wits end. i honestly feel like taking a hammer to it. help me...please.

Hello Pat, thank you for your question. We apologize that this was such a difficult repair. If the parts have not been replaced since the unit was purchased, they were installed that tightly when manufactured, which is a shame. You shouldn't have to break pieces to fix the bulbs. We can provide the part numbers for the bulb, screw, plate, and the socket. They are SCREW Part Number: PS12728594, light housing PartSelect Number PS2349147, socket PartSelect Number PS2342199 and PartSelect Number PS2376034. We have some installation, and troubleshooting on each part when searched on our site. I hope this helps!

Just bought this microwave used and it didn't come with anything to mount it with. I believe I need the kit to safely secure it?

Hello Mykaela, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is PartSelect Number PS11730898 for the Mounting Hardware and PartSelect Number PS12074431 for the Mounting Plate. We hope this helps.
The nightmare was that this microwave is installed under the cabinet....in order to get to the light bulb I had to pull out my stove then squeeze into the space between the stove and counter....my old microwave light bult was much easier to change.....Shame on Whirlpool for making this so difficult.....must be a better way to cover the light bulb so that we do not need a screwdriver to remove the door to get to the light bulb
Unless you have a very comfortable background with electronics and electricity, I don't necessarily recommend taking apart a microwave. If you are very handy and are going to be VERY cautious to follow the rules of discharging caps and testing voltages before moving forward, then go for it. That said, I took the microwave off and apart. Not knowing where to find the parts, I was fortunate that the installer put the instruction book for the microwave inside the front vent slot above the touchpad for reference. it details the location of every part and it tells you very clearly what each part you test should show specific to this microwave on your multimeter. Find this guide online if you don't have it. Turn on the microwave for 20 seconds with a glass of water to make sure it's not heating - that with the noise means it's eeither the magnetron, cap, or diode. Read the notes on this site for all of the basic things to look for with the magnetron, diode, and capacitor. Once comfortable with the guide, locations of those devices, and how to test, then take it down and apart. Unfortunately, I didn't do all those things in that order, and it only wasted a lot of time trying to find the parts. Once I found the parts and put all the screws and covers back for all the areas that didn't need to be accessed for the repair, testing went quickly. The diode was bad. Ordered a new one and had it in 3 days or so. That means your microwave will be apart and sitting somewhere for a little while until you get the part and have time to repair it. Putting the diode back isn't too bad. Reassemble the microwave and put it back up again. If i had to do it again, it would take me 20 to 30 minutes once the microwave was down and on a table. Also, I used some bricks with towels over them or you could use some sawhorses to keep the microwave elevated so you can plug it in and run it after installing the new component. Again, make sure you discharge the cap before touching anything again even if you didn't run it, but just plugged it in.
