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.

Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.

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

See these links before proceeding:

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 halogen types with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

    Torx bits can be purchased at any hardware, home improvement, or "big box" store, such as Wal-Mart.

I have( had) A magic chef microwave model MCD11E3W I must have had a power surge in kitchen refrig and oven turned off circuit breaker turned off.. All other appliances came back on but the Microwave,,...

It ispossible that the secondary transformer has failed which is the feed of the voltage for the processor timer/clock unit. So check this out with a multimeter and you can get to buy the transformer as it is a step down low voltage type., normally mounted on the processor board.
Check also if the fuse has blown if so replace.
I dont think there could be any further damage.
Credit me if this helps.
