Possible Causes
Blown cavity lamp, Loose lamp holder connection, Faulty lamp relay or triac on PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave. Lamps are often near live wiring.
- Access lamp: On many Bush models, the lamp is accessible by removing the outer cover or a small panel.
- Check bulb: Inspect the filament (if incandescent) or test continuity with a multimeter. Replace with the correct type and wattage specified for your model.
- Check holder and wiring: Ensure the lamp holder is not burnt and that wires are secure.
If a new lamp does not work, the control PCB’s lamp drive circuit may be faulty and require professional repair.
