SOURCE: Hi. I pressed the 'quickstart'
The
first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour. Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.
It may be a problem with a door switch or door switch mount.
SOURCE: trying to replace a light bulb on an amana microwave
The lamp on this model is an assembly - bulb and socket mated together.
It is mounted in an air duct on the right side of the oven near the magnetron.
You'll have to remove the outer cover to get to it.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order the bulb by
entering your full model number here.

In this case as the display does not show a clock then it seems the program controller is not working correctly. So check power - step down supply, if the pads are responding- if not faulty pads. Also the door switches, if the switch contact are not good then it will not trigger the processor to switch on the waveguides. If the lights or fan work without any display or action of program being triggered to start then it can be a possible fault on the main board or the processor. Sometimes insect secretion can short the board and display panel and so the processor can work in such an erratic manner. If so clean,solder and reset the board.
Now identify the parts by clicking this link: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/microwave/a/5/141/identifying-microwave-parts.html
Now unless the display works and the processor starts to switch on the MAGNETRON , the table and light will also switch on as it must heat.
So it is necessary to check the main controller unit as it seems to be the suspect..
