How to Replace WB36X10003 Bulbs in a GE Microwave

WB36X10003 light bulbs are incandescent bulbs intended to be used as replacement bulbs in many GE, Hotpoint and RCA over-the-range microwaves. The light bulbs are installed on the bottom of the microwave, and used to illuminate the surface below, which is often a stove. GE microwaves have either one or two light sockets on the underside, and the light bulbs are protected by a plastic light cover, which is secured by a single screw.
