Light Bulb for GE Samsung Kenmore Maytag Over-The-Stove Microwave - 2

In this review the reviewer tested a two-pack replacement halogen bulb intended for over-the-stove and under-microwave lighting in common appliance brands. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, no-frills replacement for anyone who needs a bright, warm white G8 bi-pin lamp that fits GE, Samsung, Kenmore and Maytag microwave and range hood fixtures. It is best for homeowners who want an easy swap with a familiar warm 2800k tone and dimmable output, and the package value of two bulbs makes it convenient for paired replacements.

Key Features

• Direct fit replacement: The G8 bi-pin base is designed to replace part numbers WB25X10019, WB36X10213, WB08X10050 and WB36X10246, making installation straightforward in compatible models.
• Warm white output: The 2800k color temperature delivers a warm, slightly amber light that helps see true color in food while keeping a pleasant kitchen ambiance.
• Compact size: At about 1.38' in length and 0.55' in width the bulb fits tight microwave light housings where space is limited.
• Dimmable compatibility: The bulb works with high and low switch settings so it can adapt to both bright task lighting and a lower night light mode.
• Value pack: The two-bulb package is useful for replacing both the stove and under-microwave lamps or keeping a spare on hand.
• 12-month support: The product includes a 12-month replacement service for peace of mind if the bulb fails prematurely.

Who It's For

This replacement bulb is aimed at homeowners, renters and repair-minded cooks who need a like-for-like halogen lamp for over-the-stove and microwave fixtures from GE, Samsung, Kenmore and Maytag. It is particularly useful when both the primary and secondary bulbs are due for replacement or when a matching warm white tone is preferred over cooler LED options.

Those who should look elsewhere include people who want longer-lived LED conversions or lower energy consumption, since this is a 20 watt halogen lamp rather than an LED retrofit. If an appliance specifically requires a different base or voltage, confirm compatibility before buying.

Pros & Cons
