How to Replace Bulbs for Dacor Preference DMT2420 Microwaves

When you use a Dacor Preference model DMT2420 microwave, a light inside the appliance stays on as your food heats up and also is illuminated any time you open the microwave door. The bulb itself is located under a light cover in the microwave. If the light no longer illuminates, you can replace the light bulb once you have fully disconnected the electrical supply from your microwave. The 20-watt bulb has a part number of 86800 and can be purchased at your local hardware store or an online retailer.
