How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave. The lamp area may still be near high-voltage components; avoid touching anything unnecessary.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Access the lamp: On many Privileg models, the lamp is accessible by removing the outer cabinet or a small cover on the side or top.
  • 2. Inspect the bulb: Check if the filament is broken or the bulb is darkened. Replace with the exact type and wattage specified for your model.
  • 3. Check the holder: Ensure the bulb sits firmly in the socket and that contacts are not corroded.
  • 4. Test operation: Reassemble covers fully before plugging in and testing.
