I bought a delonghi microwave in Argos about 6 months ago, bulb has blown, (also sets of the trip switch in my fuse board sometimes) no way I can see how to replace it like my last microwave , took it back to Argos in Limerick, they did'nt want to know, the mangager told me to get an electrician to replace the bulb, she said it will probably cost me the price of a new one to repair (what kind of service is this) needless to say if I do not get satisfaction I shall not be purchasing delonghi products again.

I got a Delongi Mic form argos too ,model ED8525S-SBD, sounds like a similar problem to what happened to it last year. Issue is that the bulb explodes (mainly due to the very strong spring on the door I think) leaving filament lieing on the metal chassis, hence the trip switch in your fuse box trips.
Didn't manage to find a replacement bulb but at least if you remove the old bits then it will get the machine back up and running and stop the trip tripping!
Take off the top by removing the 4or 5 screws around the outer edge at the back. The bulb sits directly behind the front panel inside its own metal chassis. There is a diamond shaped black plastic flange which the 2 power wires feed onto. 2 metal lugs hold this inside the chassis. straighten the lugs and the bulb holder pulls out. Even with the bulb removed I think there was a blown fuse and I had a further issue with the turntable not turning(this feeds off the same circuit as the bulb). So maybe Argos were right - the machine only cost £80 at the end of the day!
