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.
