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.
