Questions & Answers
Fixture and bulb are integral parts
You have a good point. The lamp inside my microwave oven is hidden behind a Faraday shield, so it likely doesn't get much 2 . The frequency of this radiation is 4 gHz. Secondly, there is an LED version of this bulb that is 70% cheaper (again, two for US$11) and is guaranteed to work in microwave ovens.
The bulb is a GE, but new ones won't be available until next spring. I found one in a bulb site in Las Vegas that looked the same, so I took a chance, and it was the same on the website that I listed in my previous reply.
Selected User Reviews For Panasonic F612E5Y30AP Lamp
Take the picture as a clue but don't believe it! As a result of the image, I nearly did not buy it. It was nice that the reviewers mentioned that it IS the right part for my microwave.
I gave it four stars because it worked well, and because it was the best price I could find for the item [when shipping is factored in]. I wouldn't be interested in any other aspect of The whole concept of having to search for a highly specialized kit just to replace a light bulb makes it impossible to give it five stars. Considering the price is so high for an item that probably costs less than a couple of dollars to produce, it's ridiculous. believe it's all part of the larger scheme to make it difficult and frustrating for consumers to decide between repair and replacement. During the initial installation of the microwave, we tried to make the light bulb unable to be replaced without the need to disassemble the outside It would be great if there was a removable screen panel in the interior If the replacement is a standard appliance light bulb you can buy from any hardware store, why do you need a specialized fitting in which the bulb is fused into the plastic housing so that you have to replace it entirely? The reason Panasonic made the screws you have to remove in order to get the outer casing off the microwave to get to the interior is probably the same reason as why Sony made the screws impossible to remove on its TVs. It is a kind of light. They must be specially fitted, ones that don't work with standard screwdriver heads. That is, at least not on mine. Additionally, you should be aware of the following Although it took a long time to arrive, I guess that's just one more thing to push consumers toward saying, "Oh well, I'll buy another microwave" because most of us do not have access to local electrical suppliers who stock it.
From my research, it looked like a relatively simple fix, so I ordered this bulb from Amazon as well as a security Torx set. There are a few screws on the back that need to be removed so that the cover comes off, revealing the bulb. The bulb appears to be a factory-original incandescent. It fits perfectly and gives off a bright, warm tone of light, just as it did Considering other alternatives, such as LED lights, this product is a bit expensive. The OEM style replacement was chosen because the original bulb had lasted decades, and why change something I was already comfortable with? Definitely pleased with this purchase and I hope that it lasts until it is time to retire this oven.
I purchased this from Amazon because I had a burned-out bulb in my Panasonic microwave. It was easy I found dealing with an anti-government campaign to be the most difficult A tamper-proof outer cabinet has screws that cannot be tampered with. It is difficult to find these in local stores because they require a special screwdriver. I was able to remove the screws using locking pliers. I bought regular Phillips head sheet metal screws from our local hardware store so that I don't have to deal with anti-theft devices The screws have been tampered with.
I am very pleased with it. GE discontinued this bulb, so it will work exactly in your microwave. If you need to replace a lightbulb in a GE Profile microwave and are wondering if this bulb from Panasonic will work or not, relax, it will be an exact replacement. As I began searching the web extensively, I noticed that there are no longer any GE bulbs available (discontinued) and I was surprised to see some people selling USED bulbs from demolished You can get a BULB FOR A USE! There's no telling whose crazy more, the guy who buys a used lightbulb or the person who sells In any case, I was able to cross reference this Panasonic bulb to the old GE bulb. For the plug, it is equipped with the right terminals Wire connectors provide connections between wires. I can't imagine a better way to illuminate the world. Attention owners of GE Profile Microwaves There is one thing you should know. The bulb needs to be replaced every few years but it is a tedious task. Because there is no access panel for replacing the bulb, you need to remove the microwave cover/case to do so. Two pieces of equipment are needed for this task a Phillips screwdriver and an oversized 15 to 20 minutes is all it should take to replace the bulb Is 20 minutes long. You can find a helpful video on YouTube that walks you through the process step by step.
It's not something that can be easily installed by a general home owner. I am not sure why it is so expensive. The unit was installed in a Panasonic NNSA651S microwave oven. For the oven cover to be removed, Phillips and Torx screws need to be removed. For the oven, there are two spade connectors of 3/16 inch, but for the bulbs, there are two of 3/16 inch and one of 1/4 inch. The male I was working on had a 1/4 stud that I trimmed down to 3/16 with a file.
It took me 30 minutes to complete the work. In case you are doing it yourself on a Panasonic, consider obtaining a special tool for unscrewing the security screws at the back of the machine.
I was able to easily install the program thanks to the video posted on You Tube. Since I watched the videos, I have now repaired the microwave on two occasions. I would have just bought a new one in the past. I would have needed to spend at least $250 to buy a new, comparable one The repair would have cost about $300, so I was motivated to try it.
Due to the description, I thought it was 110 v. But, I guess I didn't pay enough attention. I didn't want 220 volt dim light in my microwave. * I suppose I forgot something, but I thought it was 110 v.
I never installed it, when I opened the package it stated 220v right on It was delivered quickly, the part fit, but the voltage wasn't right.
