Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket, Open lamp wiring, Faulty lamp relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp. Glass can be hot and fragile.

  • Access lamp: On many Fisher & Paykel models, the lamp is accessible by removing the top grille and a small lamp cover, or from the rear.
  • Inspect and replace bulb: Remove the old bulb and inspect the filament. Replace with the exact type and wattage specified by Fisher & Paykel.
  • Check socket and wiring: Ensure the socket is not burned or loose. Tighten connections as needed.
  • Test operation: Reassemble and test. If the new bulb does not light, the control board lamp circuit may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
