- 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.
- If you don't see a cover-plate on the interior wall, turn the microwave around and look for a cover on the back.
- Unscrew that cover to get at the bulb.
- 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.
- Push in the new bulb and turn it a quarter turn to the right.
- Screw the cover-plate back on.
