Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity light bulb, failed light socket, open light control relay, faulty door switch controlling light

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before replacing the bulb or accessing internal parts.

Bulb replacement:

  • Locate the cavity light bulb access panel (often behind a grille or on the side).
  • Remove the cover and replace the bulb with the correct type and wattage specified for your Commercial Chef model.

If new bulb does not light:

  • Check the bulb socket for corrosion or loose connections.
  • Test the door switch that controls the light; replace if defective.
  • If switches and bulb are good, the control board's light relay may have failed and the board may need replacement.
