you have to remove the plug and then the outer casewhich is 4-5 screws on the back,you will find a air duct on the left hand side of the magnetron which is a metal box with two wires on the bottom.the bulb hosing is kept in with a screw and a metal tab,undo the screw and remove the two wires and that is the unit you have to replace,it is called a cap less bulb as it is one unit,reassembly is the reverse.hope this helps regards les

Mine burned out within a month. Probably due to the poor design of the machine which forces you to slam the door to get it to shut.
My biggest concern is the under counter lightbulbs it has burned out in my kitchen over the last year. I wonder how much leaking this thing really gives off. Moving in a few weeks and will be throwing this cancer machine out.
If
there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (most often on the
rear or side) and the owner's
manual doesn't address it, then disassembly will be required.
Always unplug a
microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.
If
it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and
see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom
covering the light(s), instead.
If not, chances are
you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
You should be able to download your owner's manual from Panasonic.net by choosing your region & country, then Support.
Once it's out of the
wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll
need to do on a counter top model.
On a
counter top model,
be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions
above this paragraph.
You should be able to download your owner's manual from Panasonic.net by choosing your region & country, then Support.
The
screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special
driver (such as a T20H type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.
Be sure to put all the
screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding
screws.
Bulbs can be had in most
grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box
or department stores.
Many models use halogen
lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils
will shorten the bulb life.

Yes definitely that should be working fine again since it only stop working when the bulb blew,so go ahead and replace the bulb so you can use it again...
You can find the instructions for this model here and here.
You should be able to find generic replacement bulbs from local appliance parts stores, home improvement stores, or via a local Panasonic-authorized servicer you can locate here.
Many models use one halogen lamp to illuminate the cooktop and another to illuminate the cavity. You must not touch them with your bare skin as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

bc_carver61- I think you meant to post a problem, not a solution for MY problem.
Good Luck ;)
