My lights are not working (the lights that shine down on the stovetop) new bulbs didn't solve the problem and now I see the fan also won't work. All other functions of the microwave are in working order. any ideas?
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.
This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.
