Possible Causes
Burned-out cavity bulb, loose lamp socket, failed lamp relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave.
Bulb replacement (if user-accessible):
- Some Farberware models have an access panel for the bulb on the back or side. Remove the panel screws.
- Carefully remove the old bulb and install a compatible microwave-rated replacement bulb.
- Do not exceed the specified wattage and use only bulbs rated for microwave use.
If the bulb is not user-accessible or a new bulb does not fix the issue, the lamp socket or control board relay may be faulty and require professional service.
