Voltage will be the same as your household and the appliance, and 99% of the time that's 110 if you're in the US.
What matters more are 2 specific shopping details; Wattage and base size (width)...The first detail is stamped/printed on the original bulb, and base width (not diameter) is easy to determine by laying the old bulb on a ruler.
Overall bulb size doesn't vary much, and is easy to match at the supplier.
Which was the other part of your question: Where to buy.

Most Walmarts carry a small selection of appliance bulbs, as does the local HomeDepot...You will need those 2 shopping details to zero-in on the replacement, then verify that the overall size of the glass is the same of smaller.
(A bit smaller is OK, provided the wattage and base-size are the same...but too wide or too tall, and you can't get the cover back on.)
Best Buy can order the bulbs for you if their service dept doesn't have it in stock, and Sears offers the same service.

When all else fails; Hit the Yellowpages under "appliance parts" for a local parts shop...The bulbs are for the most part fairly generic, and any decent parts shop will have a few in stock.

How to replace a burnt out light bulb in the Grundig 34CS micro oven and which kind of lamp I have to buy

Normally a 25 watt, SES (small edison screw) appliance bulb. They are normally accessed from a panel on the outside just behind where you see the light from the inside.

Perhaps 'micro' doesn't mean 'microwave', but you put it in the microwave category.

Change light bulb in my new Chef's Mark 1.6 Cu. Ft. 1100-Watt Microwave Oven EM145A5L-P.

Hi Ann
"Chef's Mark - change oven lamp"..
To access the oven lamp on most micros, you need to remove the entire housing cover. As potentially lethal voltages can be present, either get an electrician / technician to do it, or if you can, work with caution.
Most important, UNPLUG FROM MAINS POWER.
Once cover is loose, bottom side and rear screws removed, spread sides slightly and shift cover backwards until off.
Ensure that the high-voltage capacitor or its connected wiring to magnetron gunn is NOT touched. Will add pretty pictures. The capacitor has an internal resistor to dissipate stored HV charge when switched off, but as a precaution, treat all HV as potentially live and dangerous.
The globe and holder are on the AC mains side of the transformer, so provided micro is unplugged, this is perfectly safe to touch.
The globe usually has an 'Edison-screw' cap, smaller than the standard domestic type. Take sample to your electrical spares supplier, esp one that specializes in microwave spares, otherwise one of the same electrical parameters will work. What Wattage, Verify Voltage, Confirm Cap.Edit: also see answer re Magic Chef procedure. More user friendly.12f67b7c-91a0-41c2-9617-79a08d38cdf8.jpg

I have a GE micro ange hood Model# HVM1540DM1BB, bulbs blew,change them out, now the lights will not shut off. I have powered it down over night, pluged it back in next morning same thing. Any ideas

There is a possibility that the light relay is stuck on. Sometimes a sharp tap on the relay will fix it. If not the control board will need replacing.

I have a GE Microwave oven model JVM1790SK01. The surface light switch doesn't work - the lamp stays on all the time; won't dim to night light and won't turn off

There are wires going from the main board to the surface lamp and turntable. They are thin orange, yellow and blue wires. I think the surface lamp is yellow and the turntable wires are orange. You should first try taking the bottom cover off. There are about 8 screws under neath and the bottom cover hinges on the back edge, just let it hang. You can now see the wires. Those wires short to the case where they go through from the main board to the lamps or turntable motor. You now have to move them away form the case. Sometimes they get pinched to the metal cabinet by the lamp socket area. Look for signs of pinched wiring there at the lamp socket or where they go through. Move them away, tape up the bad area.

Kitchen aid Superba Microwave/convection built in above over. Need to change light bulb. what do I have to remove to pull micro out to change light bulb. model KAW38AVM726

Usually removing the appliance from the mains supply and taking the case off will reveal where the lamp is and depending whether it is an ES or Lucar fitting will depend on how tp remove it.
It is quite straight forward.
Replace the lamp with an identical lamp.
Hope that helps.

My microwave starts however food does not heat up.

Micro wave as the name suggests produces heat when the micro waves aimed at an object causes the water molecules inside the object to vibrate hence producing heat.The gadget responsible is the magnetron. If your magnetron is not receiving ht voltage or receiving but faulty, then your micro wave wont work please take precaution when opening micro wave due to high voltage caps that remain charged sometimes even when it is off.check the high voltage fuse/ diode and capacitor if they are fine and the step up trans former o.k then the only option is to replace the magnetron

Maytag MMV5165AAS work surface light won't work. I bought a new light and replaced the old one but it still will not turn on. THe microwave display goes thought the cycle of High, Low, Off but nothing...

If the lamp socket has power (and it's the right voltage) and the replacement lamp is the correct one and tests good, then the trouble is in the socket. It may have been damaged when the original lamp went "poof." Check for damaged contacts (burnt or broken off). Also, make sure you're seating the lamp correctly in the socket. If the bulb is a push-and-turn ("bayonet") type, you may be facing it the wrong way and it's not going all the way in.
