Magic Chef made its first appearance in the appliance arena in 1929 and has since proven itself as a cooking leader. Occasionally, the Magic Chef's light bulb will blow and need replacing. Fortunately, this company makes repairing this product a simple task. With a few twists of the wrist and the right tools, you can change your microwave's bulb whenever necessary.
