First, take off the cover and you will see the bulb. You must have the unit unplugged and do not touch anything else inside the unit after you take off the cover. Theres a capacitor in there that holds a big charge.. Change the bulb as you may have to go to the hardware store as it may not be a regular bulb Most are not. Good Luck

How do you change a light bulb in a panasonic 1100 microwave oven?

Some microwaves have a small panel on the side which you will need to undo a screw . Open the small panel and unscrew the bulb.
Others have a small square panel inside which may look like card that you can slide out and remove the bulb.

How do I change the light bulb in a JES 1451 ?

On this model, it's not meant to be a user serviceable part.

You would have to remove the outer cover, and then the light bulb is located on the air duct attached to the magnetron on the right side of the innards.

You can find helpful exploded views and order the bulb assembly from the Pros here.

Enter your full model number from the tag with suffix and no spaces.

See these help files on safety and disassembly first.

How to change bulb

You have to remove the outer cabinet to access the bulb. Please be careful doing this because the capacitor inside holds enough energy to kill you. And obvioulsy you have to have it unplugged before you take it apart. Many of these microwave ovens had light bulbs that came with the base and all (no socket) so you had to replace the whole base, not just the bulb. But chances are yours will have a bulb that will unscrew from a socket. Again don't touch anything else in there. You may want to consider having a tech do it for you if you're not used to working around high voltage. Good luck

HELLO,I have a sharp microwave R314FS every thing works just fine but it appears that my light bulb has blown out is it possible that i can change it myself,if so it look like i would have to remove the...

Looks like you just have to take off the outer cover. From the parts diagram I looked at this looks like a counter top unit. If so, unplug the unit and then remove the outer cover and then locate the lamp and replace it. Looks pretty easy to get to.

Bulb replacement

Yes, do be sure to unplug the oven first when removing or installiing bulbs.

This is pretty common and can be a pain. It's tacked in place with contact cement or hot glue, and sometimes there may have been enough moisture to corrode and seize up.

You could heat it up (hair dryer, maybe?) then use needle nose pliers. Be careful if heating so you don't burn anything.

You may be able to put the tips of needle nose pliers inside the broken bulb's socket, gently but firmly force the pliers jaws apart and then rotate the pliers to loosen it.

Another cool trick is to put a big glob of hot glue on the end of a stick or dowel, then shove it into the broken base and let it cool about 5 minutes, then turn the stick.

I like to put a little WD-40 or rust buster on the threads of the new bulb, too. Grease, Vaseline, cooking oil, or anything like that will work. Just a thin coat.

Once you get the new bulbs in, if they still don;t come on or they won;t go off, then your control circuit board will need to be repaired.

We regularly repair such control units for customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week with a one-year guarantee.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Light bulb going out

Unplug your unit then you have to remove the cover from the microwave. Just remove the screws that are around and in the back if there are any. once you remove the cover you should have access to your bulb. Befor removing the cover just inspect the inside of the oven to make syre that ther is no access plate in there to remove the bulb. I hope this helps. Don,t forget to rate my answer, thanks.

If your bulb is stuck or physically broken, it can be a pain. It's sometimes tacked in place with hot glue, and sometimes there may have been enough moisture to corrode and seize up.

You could heat it up (hair dryer, maybe?) then use needle nose pliers. Be careful if heating so you don't burn anything.

The lamps are available at most grocery stores, hardware stores, home centers, and places like Wal-Mart and Lowe's.

If the unit uses halogen bulbs, do not handle them with bare hands, as oils from the skin make them run hotter and shorten their lives.
