We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which
we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week.
At
our site, we now have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament
shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first
unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a
failure on the controller.
This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.
Details of our service and critical safety information and disassembly information is at our site, and our link is at
our listing here on FixYa.
Feel free to contact me
directly (and please remind me of your model number) for more information & help.
We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.William E. Miller

I have the same problem. My husband changed the light bulb and did not unplug the microwave. Now the stove light and fan dosen't work. Everything else works fine. My microwave model is JVM1660.
I have a rvm1426ba hotpoint microwave that the range lights and the hood fan do not work. Ideas?
