Possible Causes

Burned-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket connection, Failed lamp driver circuit on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before any lamp replacement. Lamps are often located behind panels that may expose high-voltage areas.

  • Consult manual: Some Princess models allow user-replacement of the lamp via an access panel; others require full disassembly.
  • Access panel: If your model has a dedicated lamp cover, remove it and replace the lamp with the exact type and rating specified.
  • If no user access: Have a technician replace the lamp to avoid exposure to high-voltage components.
