How to Replace a Microwave Lightbulb
How to Replace a Microwave Lightbulb
Most microwaves are equipped with an internal light that turns on when the door is opened or when the microwave is operational. This small halogen light is not necessary for the microwave to work, but does enhance its features and use. If the bulb in your microwave has burned out, here’s what to do.
Steps

Unplug your microwave or shut off the power to the microwave at the breaker.

Examine your microwave to find the vent. There will be a vent located either in the front, side or bottom of the machine, depending on make, model and mounting.

Locate the screws holding the vent panel in place and remove them.

Lift off the vent panel of the microwave and set it aside.

Locate the box that the halogen light is kept in.

Loosen and remove the screws that hold the cover of the box in place.

Remove the cover to the light box.

Unscrew the bulb from the microwave and remove it.

Screw in a new bulb.

Replace the cover to the light box and tighten down the screws.

Replace the vent panel and tighten down the screws.

Plug the microwave back in or reset the breaker.

Open the microwave's door to test the new light bulb. If you’ve replaced the bulb correctly and the new bulb is working properly, then the light should go back on when you reopen the microwave’s door.

What's your reaction?
