Can the under-oven light switch be isolated and replaced or does the entire control board need to be replaced?

We see this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide for $39.95 postpaid.
This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

Sound liek a problem with your hi-voltage system has gone bad. The noise you are hearing is the
hi-voltage transformer. This has taken the magnetron which does the
heating out.
If I dont mistake, the magnetron has a five year warranty on it, the rest of these parts only have a year on them. If your microwave looks and sounds normal but isn't producing any heat,
you should check the internal door switches, the high voltage circuitry
and the circuit board for problems. You will need a certified technician
to help you make these repairs.
Hope this helps.
