Possible Causes
Burnt-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket, Faulty lamp wiring, Failed lamp relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp. Some models require cabinet removal, which exposes high-voltage parts.
- Step 1 – Check user access: Some Bauknecht models have an accessible lamp cover inside or behind a small panel. If so, remove the cover.
- Step 2 – Replace bulb: Install a new microwave-rated lamp of the same type and wattage specified in the manual.
- Step 3 – If not user-accessible: If the lamp is behind the cabinet, have a technician replace it to avoid exposure to high-voltage components.
