Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the Café microwave before attempting any lamp replacement.

Steps to try:

  • Consult manual: Some Café models allow user replacement of the cavity lamp via a small access panel; others require removing the outer cover.
  • Access panel models: If your model has a lamp access cover, remove it, replace the bulb with the exact type and wattage specified by Café, and reinstall the cover.
  • Non-access models: If there is no external lamp access, do not remove the outer cover yourself. A technician should replace the lamp and inspect the socket and control relay.
