XPARTCO W11520384 Microwave Light Bulb
The XPARTCO W11520384 is an aftermarket replacement halogen light bulb for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana microwaves and microwave/hood combination units. This G9-base halogen bulb provides the bright, reliable interior illumination that lets you see food clearly while cooking, making it easier to monitor progress and avoid accidents from working in a dim cavity.
Rated 120V, 40W, 60Hz. Over time, halogen bulbs burn out from normal use, or can dim and fail prematurely if the glass envelope is touched with bare fingers during installation, since skin oils can cause uneven heating and shorten the bulb's life. A failed bulb produces a straightforward and unmistakable symptom: reduced visibility or complete darkness inside the microwave cavity during use. It directly replaces 4981936, EAP17215402, FIX17215402, OEM28869642, PS17215402, AWP861603, and PD00089571.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
Why shouldn't I touch the new bulb with my bare fingers?
Halogen bulbs are sensitive to skin oils left on the glass envelope. If oils from your fingers transfer to the glass during installation, they can cause the bulb to heat unevenly when it's powered on, which can shorten its lifespan or lead to premature failure. Handling the bulb with a clean cloth or tissue avoids this issue entirely.
My microwave light flickers before going out completely. Is that normal before a bulb fails?
Yes, flickering or dimming is a common warning sign that a halogen bulb is nearing the end of its life, often shortly before it burns out completely. If you notice this happening, it's a good time to have a replacement bulb on hand.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the G9 base, wattage, and voltage rating of the original W11520384 halogen bulb used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana microwaves.
