Question about Neff H7871N2GB Convection / Microwave Oven

Interior light gone out

Nothing inside operating manual to tell me what to do.

Julie Stowe Jan 16, 2008

No window inside newer models as customers were fusing the appliance. You now have to dsconnect from mains and pull out unit. Access to bulb is from the top.

Access to the bulb is via the the top of the microwave. It is necessary to slide the microwave half way out to gain access. Two T20 screws need to be removed to lift off the covering plate.
Bulb description is - Golfball 300 degree 40 watt 240 volt and they cost about £4

There is usually a little window inside that might remove with screws, or even snap in. That should allow access to the lamp. Check the manufactures website under product support for more info.

Advantium - Interior Light Operation While Microwaving

The Advantium 240 oven interior (cavity) light will illuminate anytime the door is open. However, due to the dark tint on the oven door, there is not a light on while cooking since the food would not be visible using the interior lamp.
Food may be viewed during a microwave cycle by pressing the Microwave/Oven Light pad.

One of the Upper Level Speedcook lamps will come on for 5 seconds. The Microwave/Oven Light pad can be pressed up to 5 times during a microwave cooking cycle. The limit of 5 times is to prevent excessive heat on microwave cookware from the Speedcook lamp.

The Advantium 120 oven cavity is illuminated anytime the door is opened and while the unit is in the microwave only mode. As a result it will not have the Microwave/Oven Light pad.

If the light is not operating properly, you will want to have it checked by an authorized service technician. To obtain in or out of warranty repair on Major Appliances, you may call 1-800-GE-CARES (800-432-2737) or schedule service online. Advantium - Interior Light Operation While Microwaving

Paint inside microwave oven bottom is peeling

The oven cavity will probably start to rust where the paint is gone. If you're up to it, sand it and paint it with a color that matches the interior color. Other then colors, there is nothing special about paint inside a microwave.

Panasonic NNH965BF microwave starts but immediately shuts off

R-8350, No power to touchpad, but interior light works

The touchpad has its own fuse which has probably blown due to a surge perhaps related to the turning on of the fridge. Removing the cover from a microwave is potentially lethal due to the large capacitor to drive the magnetron. However, this is usually well away from the front panel. If you do venture in you should first unplug the unit and when the outer cover is removed, discharge the large capacitor with well insulated pliers -= otherwise keep well away from it. The fuse you are interested in is on the pc board behind the touchpad. Replace it with exactly the same fuse (usually a slow blow fuse).

Only 1 function works at a time on mco16

That actually sounds like correct operation in that you cannot use the timer while it's cooking.

Assuming yours is model number is MCO160S, you can download your owner's manual here if you don't have it.
