Possible Causes
Burned-out cavity light bulb, Failed light socket, Faulty light relay on control board, Loose wiring to light assembly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the microwave before replacing the bulb or accessing the light housing.
- Access bulb: On many JennAir models, the cavity light bulb is accessible from the top or rear after removing a cover. Consult your manual for location.
- Replace bulb: Remove the old bulb and install a new bulb of the same type and wattage, rated for microwave use.
- Check socket and wiring: If a new bulb does not work, inspect the light socket and wiring for burns or loose connections.
- Control board: If socket and wiring are good, the control board light relay may be faulty and require replacement.
