Possible Causes

Burned-out cooktop bulb, Failed lamp socket, Stuck lamp relay on control board, Incorrect bulb type installed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave or turn off the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs.

Bulb replacement:

  • Remove the lamp cover under the microwave.
  • Replace the bulb with the exact type and wattage specified by Magic Chef.

If light still does not work:

  • Check the socket for power (technician-level test) and inspect for heat damage.
  • Replace a damaged socket.
  • If the light is stuck on or never comes on despite a good bulb and socket, the control board lamp relay may be stuck and the board will need replacement.
