REPLACE LIGHT BULB IN 2005 KITCHENAID KCMSI555RSS

If you're referring to the cavity light, it's possible the bulb is just loose in its socket. The cover has to be removed to access the bulb.

You'll have to remove the oven from its cavity, remove the rear panel and access the light bulb socket from there.

The installation guide for KEMS377D is from Whirlpool for KBMC140. Follow the instruction how to remove the microwave from the cabinet.

Hi, On most microwaves on the back pannel there is a small lid with a screw. You will have to undo one screw to access the light bulb. Take the bulb with you to compare to the new on. Sold in most hardware and super markets. Good luck.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

To replace the light bulb first remove the screws located on the vent grill at the top of the microwave, tilt the grill back and then pull away to remove. After this open the light cover , you have to remove the screws so that you can discard the old light bulb and then replace it with a new one. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

You would need to probably open the cover. Once all the screw is taken out the cover just slides back and it should be freed. You will then see where the light bulb is which is usually on top.

some of the front(vent) covers have a sliding hook I think you need to push it to the left. You should be able to access the bulb when you get that off.

If it's the one that lights the cooktop, it's normally beneath the bottom cover.

In some cases, it's located in a compartment behind the grille that goes across the top of the unit.

I have a diagram at my site which helps you find & replace many GE cooktop and cavity light bulbs. It may help. It's at http://207.234.249.73/mwd/ge_lamp_replacement.jpg

Please let me know if that helps or not.

I a Kitchen Aid Buit-in microwave (KEMC308KSS01) with the same problem - light went out. Can you send me the instructions on how to replace the bulb? Thank you! [email protected]
