Kenmore 721.62642200 intermittent oven light
Everything about this microwave works flawlessly except that the interior oven light will decide to not be on "sometimes." It's been like this for over a year and I've just been waiting for something else to go wrong to lead me to the problem. Right now it's only a minor nuisance. Since it's been a while I figured I'd ask on here to see what I should look at first. In summary - when you open the door sometimes the light will come on and some times it won't. Every blue moon it will flicker a little bit but I can't seem to get the problem to replicate on demand. What should I yank apart first?

Hi,
Make sure the bulb is tight in the socket.

Checked
I went in there and double-checked on the tightness. It's tight. So then I opened and closed the door over and over until it stayed off. Then, while it was off with the door opened, I tapped on the top inside of the oven and it popped back on. Should I replace the socket? Should I not even mess with it?

It just sounds like a bad filament in the bulb, have you tried to replace it with another new bulb?
