Possible Causes
Burnt-out cavity lamp, loose lamp holder connection, failed lamp relay on control PCB (rare)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before accessing the lamp compartment.
Steps:
- 1. Confirm function: If heating and turntable work normally, the issue is likely limited to the lamp.
- 2. Access lamp: On many Tower microwaves, the cavity lamp is accessible from the rear or side via a small cover. Remove the cover screws.
- 3. Replace bulb: Replace the lamp with the exact type and wattage specified for your Tower model (often a special microwave-rated bulb).
- 4. Check connections: Ensure the lamp holder contacts are clean and the wires are firmly attached.
Note: Do not substitute with non-microwave-rated bulbs, as they may overheat or fail prematurely.
