There are two settings...low and high. The high does not operate...burns out the new bulb immediately. Is it necessary to buy a bulb manufactured by Whirlpool (@ $8.00 a piece) or should any "appliance" bulb suffice? I would like to rule out light bulb problems before paying a technician to come out and diagnose whether or not the problem lies deeper. Thank you, Cindy
