Bulb in swmbo's Miele integrated microwave blew. Pull the whole caboodle ou t of the cupboard. Remove about 10 screws and slide off the outer sleeve to gain access to the bulb. This has to be a bad design
Ring Miele Dublin for replacement bulb.
HOW MUCH ??
?55 for a bloody bulb.
or
Bought one from local retailer for ?4.51.
WTF
What margins do these people work to ?
That's the price of a new microwave
Why a twin pack for something that is likely to never require more than one replacement?
Does anyone have the same problem as myself, put the spare carefully away for future use but can never find it X years afterwards and have to buy another (twin) pack.
Buy a single bulb, it'll blow in a month. But a twin pack, it'll never ever go again. Cheap insurance...

Gaffer tape it somewhere out of sight on the casing of the microwave
Does anyone NOT have that problem?!?
I always have it with those tiny bulbs for Mini-Maglites.
Don't the Mini ones have a bulb storage area? The bigger ones doo...inside the spring.

Probably priced for fitting.
Yes. But when the working bulb dies, and I use the spare, I buy a card with two bulbs on it, put one in the storage spot, and now I have a card with one bulb floating around. I usually find them when I have no need of them, of course.
By the way, in Michigan, the five D-cell Maglite is known as a Malice Green, after a black guy who was beaten to death with one by white Detroit cops while sitting in his car.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Me. I have a box labelled Bulbs, misc. It never fails.

Ah. OK. I do have one of those cimpartment boxes and keep spare (really spare) bulbs in that.
OTOH, most of my Maglites have been converted to LED.
Hmm.
Malice? That was his given name?
Are you certain they weren't quoting for the wrong part?
not an integrated one
even without a "fancy" name on the front

If *I* had to guess-
no

Is there any real point in these 'integrated' ones - unless you don't have a real oven too?
What's the point of any integrated appliance in the kitchen?
apart from the possibility of having a hob somewhere other than above the oven, the only point is "because it looks nicer"
tim
Agreed
A matter of taste.
No. Right part. Spares department at least had the sense to apologise and s aid he was embarrassed having to ask this amount for it.
Incidentally the minimum call out charge for a Miele technician to this hou se, 20 miles from Dublin, is ?180.
Suck on that one
