I have panasonic counter top microwave model # NN-S569BA How do I change the light bulb in it

Here is the free online manual, but I did not see the light bulb change on my first look through: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/192230/Panasonic-Nn-S446ba.html?page=2#manual

There is a YouTube educational video that may help more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLidbz2LUtg

I hope this helps you out!

At this time we recommend you test the microwave on a different power outlet. If the problem persists, please use the below link to locate an authorized service center.

Switch off power ,Remove the top panel cover and the lamp will be visible within. Now unscrew the lamp cover and remove the lamp . check for failure and replace with the same wattage and thread.

If it is "user replaceable", your owner's manual will cover that.

If for some reason you don't still have yours, you can download it here.

If it's not mentioned in the manual, then you will have to do some disassembly to get to it. (It's not mentioned).

Since that's a counter top model, you'll have to remove the outer cover.

See these help files.

Then you can take your old bulb to an appliance parts store, big box store like Wal-Mart, or a home improvement store like Lowe's or Home Depot to match it up.

Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch halogen types with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

Hi,

Do you mean you want to replace light bulb for your microwave? If yes follow the instructions below;

1. PLEASE UNPLUG YOUR MICROWAVE!
2. Picture of your microwave with a phone or camera so that you don't forget how to assemble it back.
3. Remove the two screws that holds grill. They are located at the edge of the unit. Once the screws are out, rotate the grill forward from the top. It will pop right out.
4. Once the screws are out, rotate the grill forward from the top. The grill should pop right out.
5. Locate a small access cavity on the left.
6. Remove the screw that is located near the front of the microwave door.
7. Lift up the sheet metal floor to access the bulb. The bulb is located under the sheet metal "floor" on the left.
8. Place a flash light on the microwave floor and shine the light in the light area. This will help you see better when you replace your bulb.
9. Look for a small shiny reflector that hides the bulb. Use your two fingers to squeeze it a bit. Making sure not to bend it.
10. The bulb connection should come right out.
11. After you replaced the bulb, re secure the reflector and the sheet metal floor with the single screw. Test the bulb by plugging in your microwave.
12. Once you see that the bulb works. Unplug your microwave again and re attach the front grill. You are now done.

I hope this helps to solve your problem.

Good luck.

Hello, I also have a Panasonic Microwave ( model NN-S 564 or 574 ?) They are very similar.
I have just removed the outer cover 5 screws ( unplug of course ) and have located the bulb holder which is a white plastic component with two clips holding the globe, pull it out and remove the two spade clips connected to the globe. The globe will come away attached to a black plastic mount. Next........do the run around to find someone who sells it.
Perth has an authorized distributer/repairer in Myaree whose details I got from Panasonic. He may sell them. otherwise I will try a couple of specialist light globe suppliers I know....PROLAMPS in Belmont and one in BALCATTA whose name escapes me but I have been there before...Hope this helps others.

If there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (most often on the rear or side) and the owner's manual doesn't address it, then disassembly will be required.

The panel you describe - if inside the cavity - is not the light cover, but the waveguide cover.

You'll need to remove the outer cover (wrapper) to get to the bulb.

Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.

If it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom covering the light(s), instead.

If not, chances are you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Once it's out of the wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll need to do on a counter top model.

On a counter top model, be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions above this paragraph.

The screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special driver (such as a T20H type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.

Be sure to put all the screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding screws.

Bulbs can be had locally in most grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box or department stores.

Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.
