How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp. Some models require removal of the outer cover.

  • Access lamp: On many Miele models, the lamp is accessible from the rear or side behind a small cover. Remove screws and cover.
  • Replace bulb: Install a new lamp of the exact type and wattage specified by Miele (often a special high-temperature appliance bulb).
  • Check socket: Ensure the lamp is seated firmly and the socket contacts are not corroded.
  • Test operation: Restore power and open the door to verify the light works.
