The interior light no longer works....how do i replace it, is it a bulb or a fuse? thank you for any help. i wanted to do this myself.
It's pretty simple as long as you have an offset phillips
screwdriver...
Of course, be sure to disconnect power to microwave and be sure not
to touch the new halogen bulb with fingers.
STEP-BY-STEP:
First, remove upper vent panel and remove inner filter (same directions
for just replacing inner carbon filter):
Then, remove inner plastic grille (2 screws) and final screw on left
side of metal "air duct" - here's where you'll need the offset screge advantium 120 microwave - 6229660.jpgand a little patience!):
That's it...just replace bulb and reverse for reassembly. Be sure to keep track of screw locations there are various sizes/lengths used.

On some newer models, the bulb can be replaced by removing the lower panel. But for most models, the oven must be pulled from the wall (a 2-person job) and then the cover has to be removed. The bulb will probably be a halogen type and must be handled with a clean cloth or gloves. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety & disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your model number (not Advantium) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

I found this site/posting because I was wondering the same. However, I
didn't really like the current solution posted of removing the
microwave from wall so looked into it a bit further myself and have
found a way to replace the interior light bulb on the Advantium 120
microwave WITHOUT removing the microwave from the wall and/or removing
entire cover.
I'm going to take a few pictures and try to describe / illustrate
process and post somewhere / sometime...in the meantime, if you want a
brief description of how, email me at dlarm[email protected] .

Interior not lit when running. Can't check on item while cooking without opening door.
the surface light burned out. I obtained a replacement bulb. I took out the burned out bulb and replaced it with the new bulb. the surface light did not come on. I also noticed that the interior bulb in the microwave is no longer working either. is there a reset button somewhere? my email address in [email protected]
