Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket, Faulty lamp wiring, Failed lamp relay on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp.

Steps:

  • Locate lamp cover: On many Clatronic models, the cavity lamp is accessible from the rear or side behind a small cover.
  • Remove cover: Unscrew the cover and carefully remove it.
  • Replace bulb: Remove the old lamp and replace it with the exact type and wattage specified for your Clatronic model (usually a special microwave-rated bulb).
  • Check socket: Ensure the lamp socket contacts are clean and not burned.
  • Reassemble and test: Refit the cover, plug in, and test door opening and a short cook cycle.

Warning: Use only microwave-rated lamps; incorrect bulbs can overheat or fail prematurely.
