Possible Causes

Burnt-out cavity lamp, Loose lamp socket connection, Faulty lamp holder, Blown lamp fuse (if fitted)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Lamps may be hot immediately after use.

  • Step 1 – Access lamp: On many Severin models, the lamp is accessible by removing the outer cabinet or a small cover near the side or top.
  • Step 2 – Inspect bulb: Check if the filament is broken or the bulb is darkened. Replace with the correct type and wattage specified by Severin (often a special microwave-rated bulb).
  • Step 3 – Check socket and wiring: Ensure the lamp holder contacts are clean and that wires are firmly connected.
  • Step 4 – Test: Reassemble and test. If the new bulb does not light, the lamp circuit on the control PCB may be faulty and require service.
