How to Replace Your Advantium Oven Surface Light

7/25/2017

6 Comments

 
If you own an Advantium oven by GE, you'll reach a point when the surface light goes out. It's easy to replace following the instructions below (from GE's Advantium owner's manual). But here are a couple tips to help out:

1. This is NOT the internal oven light. Replacing that is a little more involved (here's one guide), and it requires a different replacement light bulb. What we're showing you is the bulb at the bottom of the oven that lights the counter or stovetop beneath​ the oven.

2. Let's make ordering simple: you can use this bulb or this bulb. These are 12V 20W bulbs as shown in the instructions; they're also the right size with the right base type. You might want to order 2 so you have an extra around for the future.

3. Make sure to wear a glove or otherwise avoid touching the new bulb when putting it into the oven. Oils from your fingers can shorten the life of the bulb.

Alternately, you can use this LED bulb. It has the same base and, although the body's a little larger, it still fit into my oven when I tested it. With the LED, you don't need to worry about touching the bulb. (This will not shorten its life.) And of course it is rated to last far, far longer than a halogen bulb.

Now follow the instructions below and you should have that light working in no time!

Hi Bill. Yes, I just tested one and it worked in my Advantium. The body of it is larger than the halogen bulb, but it still fits with the bottom of the oven closed. This is, once again, only for the surface light outside the oven and not for use inside. Here's the link, and I'll add it into the article as well:

So, I've read the above information regarding the light bulb that lights up the surface area of the counter top. It says:

"Replace with a 12v-20 watt Halogen.

REALLY-- 12 volt???

When the microwave plugs in to 110 volts!!

I'm looking to replace this bulb with an LED

So, is this the one: http://www.lightingsupply.com/LED-G4-12V-3W-3.aspx ?????

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you,
Stephen

Hi Stephen -

The replacement instructions listed above are from the GE Advantium owner's manual where they state you should use a 12V 20W halogen bulb. The replacement bulb recommended (WB36X10176) has a G4 base so the bulb you referenced will work great.

If you have any further questions, please give our Customer Service Team a call at 877.231.2852. Thank you!
