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:

- 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.
