Safety first: Unplug the microwave before attempting any lamp replacement. Accessing the lamp may require removing the cabinet, which exposes high-voltage components. If you are not experienced, use a technician.
User-level steps (if lamp is externally accessible on your Hisense model):
- Consult the user manual to see if the lamp is user-replaceable.
- Remove the lamp cover as instructed and replace the bulb with the exact type and wattage specified by Hisense.
If the lamp is not user-accessible:
- Contact a technician to replace the cavity lamp and check the lamp circuit.
