Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity light bulb, Loose bulb socket, Failed light relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the light bulb. Avoid touching high-voltage components.

  • Locate light bulb:
    • On many Black+Decker models, the bulb is behind a small panel on the side or top of the cavity, accessible from inside or from the rear.
  • Replace bulb:
    • Remove the cover and unscrew the bulb.
    • Install a replacement bulb of the same type and wattage specified by Black+Decker.

If a new bulb does not light, the socket or control board light circuit may be faulty and require professional service.
