to replace the bulb in microwave ovens you will have to take the outside case off the unit as the bulb placement is not accessible from inside the oven
when you get to the bulb take it to an appliance repair shop and they will have a bulb
Mine burned out within a month. Probably due to the poor design of the machine which forces you to slam the door to get it to shut.
My biggest concern is the under counter lightbulbs it has burned out in my kitchen over the last year. I wonder how much leaking this thing really gives off. Moving in a few weeks and will be throwing this cancer machine out.
Howdy. Bad news; that is not a user-repairable part according to Panasonic. They recommend a local repair shop. I was going to send you the link to the manual anyway, (in case you are a hardcore DIY person) but that model is no longer supported on Panasonic's site. Sigh.
If you have any trouble locating a decent repair specialist in your area, I'd be happy to help out with that.

They do this to avoid liability from your exposure to the instantly lethal voltages present in and generated by your microwave oven.
For important safety and disassembly tips, search on Yahoo.com (not Google) for all this at once (copy & paste):

The oven must first be disconnected from the power line.
The outer cover is held in place by several screws on the back and sides, then you lift up and back from the rear to remove it.
You need to avoid the sharp metal edges on thge cover and inside the oven.
Note there are also catches built into the top & sides of the cover which must be re-engaged upon reassembly, or the cooling efficiency will be compromised.
Once the cover's off, if there's any chance you might come into contact with any of the high voltage connections, the high voltage capacitor should be discharged for safety's sake.
Once the bulb is located, it can be unscrewed and replaced.
