Grilling Halogen & Quartz Replacement Bulbs and Paint coming off handle
Hi: Where can I order replacement Grilling Halogen & Quartz Replacement Bulbs for the Whirlpool GH6177XPS Microwave Oven?
Is there anything I can do about paint scrapes on the handle? The oven is less than 2yrs old and looks the paint comes off it if you scratch it with your fingernails. I went to two Sears stores than they all hand the same issue with that oven.

It is straight forward. These pages in the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/749786/Fagor-6ha-200-Tlx.html?page=25#manual
One needs to acquire a special heat resistant bulb from Fagor. One thought is: when this is a halogen quartz glass type bulb, you can not touch it with the bare hands. Being the main reason these bulbs burn out prematurely. Halogen gassen (additional chemicals) break down when skin grease passes the quartz glass and can not protect the filament anymore. Both the supplier and the consumer can make such a mistake and touch the quartz glass. You may want to inspect the bulb first, since it ain't working anymore anyways and when the filament itself is the cause and the oven is not used intensive or for long, then ask for warranty.
Hi Sandie
You are asking about a Microwave oven...right?
They usually don't use halogen bulbs. Just a standard incandescent bulb. Don't need super bright in Microwave oven.
Take the bulb out and note the Voltage, Wattage and Shape & Size of the base. Bayonet or Screw etc. some details may be stamped on bulb.
Replacements can be had from many sources. Hardware / Electronics... depends where you are.
If the bulb is halogen for a vehicle headlight for example... take original or photo to an automotive shop.
Good Luck
hello chris microwave is an american model
I found the tube/bulb you looking for is like the picture and called quartz grill tube and can be replace by similar voltage 120 v
It's a little more complicated than Leo2 suggested but the general concept is correct. *NOTE: Turn off power to the microwave first before servicing it!
At the top of the microwave there are three screws.
Remove the three screws and slowly pull down from the top to get the plastic airvent out of your way.
You will notice a plastic vent with two screws. Remove the forward screw and then pull from the top of the vent to access the rear screw. Now you have access to a metal plate above the fan assembly. Remove the screws at the leading edge to lift up the plate. You don't need to remove it, just lift it up!
Now you have access to the metal box over the lightbulb. Squeeze the box and the box with the light bulb inside come out as one unit. You'll know you have the correct bulb as it is attached to two white wires. Remove the bulb. Should be a halogen 120-130 volt with 35 watt brightness. Remember, halogen bulbs should never be handled with your bare hands. The grease from your fingertips heats up and the bulb burns out prematurely. Always handle these bulbs with rubber or cloth gloves. They are expensive little sucks ($7.79 at Home Depot) so handle them with care!
Good Luck ...
