Update on microwave/fan hood lamp replacement. I’d bought an LED for it a while back which wouldn't turn off. Also, same brightness for Half or Full. I figured the circuit didn't work due to low power draw, 1.5 vs 25 watts for incandescent. Went to buy incandescent from homedepot and notice their appliance light section consists of those and LEDs with tiny text saying “non-dimmable”, which is another way of saying "no full/half brightness support”.
Tried incandescent and it doesn't shut off or dim either, which probably means the LED somehow broke the circuit? I'm really curious what they are using to control this, seems overly complicated or not very robust. Curious enough to pull microwave off wall mount and take apart? We shall see! #electronics
