Got a broken lightbulb base in the bottom of my over-the-stove microwave. I learned my first lesson in that, even though the light is out, one needs to unplug the microwave before trying to work on it, lol.
Anyways, what advice do you guys have for removing lightbulb bases that have broken. This is a tight space, so I tried using a potato and it didn't really work. |

Quoted:
I use potatoes... I've seen chewed up sockets where people have used pliers before so I avoid that. BTW, don't eat the potato afterward This is Tennessee. And Winter is Coming. Those things are like gold here. Besides, using my other one might damage the screen. 
Anyways, I had to get it out with pliers because it was tucked into such a strange place, and had to eat up base to get it out, little bastard. Turns out the stupid thing doesn't work anyways, so I just went to HD and got one of those little puck lights to put over the stove. We'll see how long it lasts. |
