Possible Causes

Burnt-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp holder connection, Failed lamp wiring, Faulty lamp relay on control PCB (rare if heating is normal)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before replacing the lamp. Some models require cabinet removal; others have an access panel.

Steps:

  • 1. Locate lamp access: Check the user manual. Many Morphy Richards models have the lamp behind a small panel at the rear or side; others require removing the outer cover.
  • 2. Remove old lamp: Carefully unscrew or pull out the lamp from its holder. Avoid twisting the glass excessively.
  • 3. Install new lamp: Fit a Morphy Richards-compatible microwave cavity lamp of the same voltage and wattage. Do not substitute with non-microwave-rated bulbs.
  • 4. Test: Reassemble, plug in, and open/close the door or start a short cook cycle to verify the lamp works.
