Well that is a perfectly good part number... you probably talked to GE Appliance which is useless... GE and others like Chicago Minature Lamp makes that part number:</P>

If this is not the right one, they probably have what you need anyway... There are several #18 lamps... leave the GE off as that is only a brand and not part of the generic number.</P>

A better way to pull the bulbs is to use a drinking straw of the right diameter... saves breakage and mess... push one over the bulb and pull... also works for screw in types and bayonet types too with right straw...
