Possible Causes

Burned-out surface light bulb, Failed light relay on control board, Incorrect bulb type installed, Loose bulb socket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the microwave or switch off the breaker.

Steps:

  • Replace bulbs: Remove the lens cover under the microwave and replace the bulbs with the correct Frigidaire surface light bulbs (check wattage and base type).
  • Check sockets: Inspect sockets for burning or looseness.
  • Brightness issue: If only one brightness level works, the control board's dimming circuit or relay may be faulty and require replacement of the main control board.
