How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before inspection.

  • Door test: Open and close the door several times. If the light flickers, a door switch may be intermittent.
  • Listen for relay: Start and stop a short cook cycle while listening for relay clicks. If the light never turns off, the relay may be stuck.
  • Internal diagnosis (qualified persons): Test the door switches and lamp relay on the control PCB. Replace the faulty switch or control board as needed.
