So I have a Whirlpool model WMH32519FS-0 that normally takes a light bulb - 8206232A under the range side that is 40w. I wanted to switch the bulb to an LED and conserve energy or maybe even just keep it on at all times as an LED.
I found what should be a suitable replacement in [Kakanuo E17 LED Bulb Microwave Oven Light Dimmable 4 Watt Warm White 3000K 72X3014SMD AC110-130V] on Amazon and made the swap.
My concern is, now that the swap has been made, The light went from 3 settings OFF-LOW-HIGH into a now new 3 setting LOW-MED-HIGH
and there is now no way to actually turn the light off. Should this concern me? Or does this mean that there was always a charge going to the socket and thus meaning it was always pulling some wattage from the factory bulb even though it was off? or has this created a mismatch issue where the bulb is pulling power that it should not be pulling that could be of concern?
Thanks in advance for any insight into this.
