Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket, Faulty lamp relay on control board, Broken lamp cover

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp. Use only the specified lamp type from IKEA or the OEM.

Steps:

  • 1. Access lamp: On many IKEA models, the lamp is accessible from the rear or top after removing a small cover. Consult the manual.
  • 2. Replace bulb: Remove the old bulb and install a new microwave-rated bulb of the same wattage and base type.
  • 3. Check socket: Ensure the lamp socket is not burned or loose. Reseat connectors if necessary.

Resolution: If a new bulb does not fix the issue, the lamp relay or control board may be faulty and should be replaced.
