Possible Causes
Burned-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket, Broken lamp wiring, Faulty lamp relay on control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before accessing the lamp area. Avoid touching HV components.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Access lamp: On many Daewoo models, the lamp is accessible by removing the outer cabinet or a dedicated lamp cover.
- 2. Inspect bulb: Check if the filament is broken or the bulb is darkened. Replace with the exact type and wattage specified by Daewoo.
- 3. Check socket and wiring: Ensure the lamp is seated firmly and that wires are not loose or burned.
- 4. Test operation: Reassemble, plug in, and test. If the new lamp does not light, the control PCB lamp relay or wiring may be faulty and require professional service.
