  1. Unplug the microwave and examine the cooking area.If you see a cover-plate, unscrew it to get at the bulb. Then go to Step 4.
  2. If you don't see a cover-plate on the interior wall, turn the microwave around and look for a cover on the back.
  3. Unscrew that cover to get at the bulb.
  4. When you see the bulb, turn it a quarter turn to the left and pull the base straight out.The bulb has two prongs, just like many automotive bulbs.
  5. Push in the new bulb and turn it a quarter turn to the right.
  6. Screw the cover-plate back on.
