How do you change the light bulb

You'll have to remove the oven from its cavity, remove the rear panel and access the light bulb socket from there.

I would Google the model number with replace bulb---You Tube has video instructions for a lot of models and if yours is there it will show you how.

Sears Parts Direct lists the microwave, 72166319500 , as using the lamp, 6912W3B002L. This is available for $6.49 here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Microwave-Parts/Model-72166319500/0582/0123245/50026833/00004?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= .

Unplug the microwave and wait a bit before starting to replace the bulb. To change the bulb, you first need to take off the entire cabinet (remove 4 screws on the back of the microwave and lift the part up). Then see the parts diagram on the page given above. There are 2 screws that hold the switch and bulb assembly to the frame of the microwave. I believe you should be able to pull the bulb housing down from the middle of the assembly and then push the unit up after replacing the old bulb with the new bulb. However, the bulb housing may have two screws holding it in place.

I hope this helps.

try checking for a stuck "off" switch around the door or where the door latches, or could be loose wiring, Do Not open up the guts of a microwave unless you know what your doing, you can seriously hurt or even kill yourself.

Just gone through it myself. Wife was trying to change the bulbs and broke them both leaving the screw part stuck inside. I took the whole bottom panel off. It is 5 screws and comes completely off the microwave. Makes things much easier access

It probably is, but I cannot find your model number on the Daewoo website to look in the manual.

Please confirm and reply the model number .

is the microwave itself working? because same thing happened to us apparently the guy who changed the bulb didnt unplugg the thing first and well it burned a part of the circut board cost us about 90 dollars to fix it.....

Because microwave leakage can be hazardous and high wattage is present, limit your microwave repairs to light bulb changes if the light bulb is easily accessible. For other repairs, call a qualified technician to make repairs on a microwave oven. If it doesn't work and the light doesn't go on, be sure it is receiving power.
