The how-to link is posted above.

I believe it's a 20 or 30W bulb. Don't make the mistake my wife did - which was mis-ID the bulb wattage.. That'll cost you another $200. :-)

the advantiums take 20 watt halogen bulb for interior light. sometimes a pain to get to and change behind several panels and grills.

The relay that powers this bulb as well as the exhaust fan and turntable (on my unit) is around 5A max. A 60W bulb baked it.

The local appliance repair place wouldn't replace the relay - they replaced the board, which runs over $200.

So now I've got a spare board, I'll get around to replacing the relay as soon as I can source it.
