Review on 6-Pack of Bulbmaster 40W Microwave Appliance Replacement Light Bulbs for GE Ovens, Replaces Part WB36X10003, E17 Base, Length 2.5 Inches by Jeff Talcott

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Half of the lightbulbs blew out immediately

Replaced a blown lightbulb under the microwave; no problem. The light from the old bulb and the new bulb didn't look the same, so I decided to replace the (still working) old bulb on the other side. Inserted the first from a new pack, turned on power and POP. The lightbulb has burned out. Paste the second and POP. third? POP. Put in your own lightbulb, no problem. Neither the socket nor the microwave are ok. Thought maybe I should go while I'm ahead. But I did a little research and saw a post on the internet that said this was a sign of bad lightbulbs. So I took out the original and put in the fourth bulb from the box. This one worked. I installed two such bulbs, three burned out immediately, and I haven't tried the sixth yet. I don't know how long they will last or when I will have to try a replacement. I think I have a 50/50 chance it will work. UPDATE 05/26/2020: I had to put in the last spare tire. It exploded immediately. So only two out of six worked.
