Microwave over-the-range vent fan or surface light does not work, but microwave heats normally.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed hood fan motor, Burned-out surface light bulb, Faulty fan/light switches or relays on control board, Damaged wiring to fan or light

Safety: Unplug the microwave before servicing fan or light. If mounted over a range, ensure it is supported.

Steps:

1. Replace surface light bulb: Access the bulb from the underside and replace with the correct type and wattage.
2. Test hood fan speeds: If the fan does not run on any speed, access the fan motor and test for continuity. Replace if open.
3. Inspect switches and board: If the motor and bulb are good but not receiving power, the control board or physical switches may be faulty and require replacement.
