Microwave shows E14; interior light does not work or flickers

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

E14 indicates a problem in the lamp circuit.

• Step 1 – Basic lamp check:
  • Look at the lamp through the lens while starting a short cook cycle.
  • If the filament is visibly broken or the lamp never lights, it is likely blown.
• Step 2 – Lamp replacement (for DIYers):
  • Remove the outer cabinet or lamp cover (depending on SilverCrest model).
  • Carefully remove the lamp from its holder; avoid touching the glass with bare fingers on halogen types.
  • Install a replacement lamp with the exact same type, wattage, and base as specified by SilverCrest.
• Step 3 – Wiring check:
  • Inspect the lamp holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections.

If a new lamp does not resolve E14, the control PCB lamp relay or driver may be faulty and require professional repair.
