How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave and allow it to cool.
Lamp replacement (user-serviceable on some models):
- Consult the Candy user manual to locate the lamp access panel (often on the side or top behind a small cover).
- Remove the cover and carefully take out the lamp.
- Replace with the exact type and wattage specified by Candy (usually a special microwave-rated bulb).
- Ensure the lamp cover is reinstalled to protect against grease and heat.
If no access panel: The lamp may require removal of the outer cover and should be replaced by a technician to avoid exposure to high-voltage areas.
