    Hi. Is it possible to replace the bulb in the oven cavity. There dosen`t seem to be an obvious lens to remove as in a conventional oven. I am a trained electrical engineer but never mess around with microwaves normally. I looked on the Sanyo parts page and saw that a replacement costs in excess of £14 🙁 .

    So can it be replaced easily and is this the actual true cost.

    Thanks. David.

    For some unfathomable reason, the wily oriental manufacturers see fit to use “oddball” bulbs for this purpose,so they can hold you to ransom.

    IF you intend to “go in” WARNING!!!! EVEN UNPLUGGED, A LETHAL CHARGE CAN EXIST ON THE MAGNETRON CAPACITOR. IT KILLS!!!!!

    (if you don’t know the fault that can cause this, don’t go there)

    personally, i just don’t bother ,as these appliances are at throwaway prices nowadays…..a magnetron is usually over 1/2 the price of a complete appliance.
