The replacement bulb suitable for the underside of the GE JVM3160DFWW microwave model is a 120 volt, 40 watt (max) incandescent bulb. You can order the bulb with part number WB25X10030 from your GE supplier. To replace the bulb, follow these steps: 1. Disconnect the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel, or unplug the microwave. 2. Remove the screw from the side of the light compartment cover and lower the cover until it stops. 3. Make sure the bulb is cool before removing it. Gently unscrew the bulb to break the adhesive seal. 4. Screw in the new bulb, then raise the light cover and replace the screw.
