If there is no plate to unscrew in front of the bulb , then the only way it can be changed is to open the microwave
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR INSIDE WILL STILL BE HOLDING HIGH VOLTAGE
if you are not familiar with this then don't attempt the repair!
then you will need a technician

The light inside the microwave has burned out and I do not know how to replace.

Open the top front panel, and the lamp is located at the top.

The lights on the bottom of my microwave will not turn off. This started when I changed the bulbs due to the old ones burning out. Anyone ever heard of this? Thank you.

If you put in higher wattage bulbs than designed, your bulbs may have caused the control device (relay contacts/triac/diac) to permanently fail thus allowing the circuit to always remain energized.

It sounds like the main transformer has failed. It would be cheaper to replace the whole microwave than repair this one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Our GE Spacemaker XL 1800 microwave's controls are locked

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes.

My GE spacemaker microwave won't heat and makes an unusual sound

I have the same problem on my oven- model JVM1640WB and called an appliance repairman who is honest and reliable (I've used him before). He said the problem is with the electrode, to fix it is roughly $300. He recommended buying a new microwave rather than fixing it.
