Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the cooktop light bulb in your Samsung microwave oven. Specific procedures may vary slightly by microwave model.

1. Power Disconnection: Locate the circuit breaker for your kitchen and turn off the power to the microwave oven. Alternatively, unplug the microwave from the wall outlet. Verify that the microwave is completely off.
2. Access Bulb Cover: The cooktop light bulbs are typically located on the underside of the microwave oven. Look for a light cover, often secured by screws or tabs.
3. Remove Cover: Carefully remove the screws or release the tabs holding the light cover in place. Set the cover and fasteners aside in a safe location.
4. Remove Old Bulb: Allow the old bulb to cool if it was recently in use. Gently pull the old G8 bulb straight out from its socket. It has two pins that insert directly into the receptacle.
5. Install New Bulb: Using a clean cloth or gloves, align the two pins of the new Anyray G8 bulb with the holes in the socket. Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is fully seated. Do not force it.
6. Reattach Cover: Place the light cover back into position and secure it with the screws or tabs removed earlier. Ensure it is firmly attached.
7. Restore Power: Restore power to the microwave oven by turning on the circuit breaker or plugging the appliance back into the wall outlet.
8. Test Functionality: Turn on the microwave's cooktop light to confirm the new bulb is working correctly.
