As some others have suggested elsewhere, I purchased and applied Display Dimming Film available online. I suggest using a single piece that completely covers the opening (will probably require trimming to fit) rather than having two or three smaller pieces abut, otherwise sparkles of light will shine through the spices. Once you have this film, you will likely find other uses for it. For example a digital clock near a TV, or a overly bright power indicator light on desktop computer speaker, or the power indicator on the desktop computer itself that stays on in standby mode through the night.

SOURCE: When new microwave is turned on, the lights in the kitchen dim.

Sounds like your microwave's outlet is on the same circuit with the lights.

High-current devices like microwave ovens should be on their own breaker if possible.

If the dimming is very slight, it may be okay.

If it's considerable, it may be a good idea to run a separate line to the microwave's outlet - especially if it starts blowing your breaker!

I just purchased a Hamilton Beach microwave. The display light is so bright that it hurts my eyes. Is there a way to dim it?

You would have to send it to the manufacturer. I know how but have no schematic to accomplish this. Brightness is controlled by a resistor that limits power to the display. Sometimes it is done digitally and involves reprogramming.

Fgmv174kfb dim display

The owner's manual (here) does not mention that as a feature, so I would assume the oven has a defect and would need to be returned to your dealer to be exchanged under warranty.

Surface lights are not turning off and stay on Bright. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Unfortunately they are controlled by the circuit board and it is not repairable. The board will have to be replaced.Depending on age of unit you should call manufacturer and see what they say < might repair free>
