Samsung M1713N microwave – needs new light bulb

[nightshift]

How do I replace the bulb in my Samsung M1713N microwave? The microwave is still working ok. There’s a little white plastic panel on the right hand side but I don’t know if that’s the ‘access’ to the bulb/holder. 😕

Many thanks.

Hi: It maybe the bulb cover but is more likely to be the Waveguide cover, due to the dangers involved with Microwave ovens Manufacturers tend not to fit user replaceable items & many now fit the bulb inside the casing.

WARNING: Do not remove the outer cover of your Microwave for any reason, leave it to an Engineer these machines can KILL. 😯

Thanks, Specialist. It looks like I’ll just have to cook in the dark then 8) – or at least until I get a new microwave.
Do any companies make ovens that HAVE parts that the customer can replace? 😕

Not that I can think of no, it’s all due to the safety aspect, these can pack a fatal punch even if they have been off for a while.
If you turn the Microwave off & unplug it, you can carefully look behind the plastic panel to see if it hides the bulb. (screw fit).

REMEMBER POWER OFF, PLUG OUT & DONT REMOVE THE MICROWAVE COVER.

Why not take it to a microwave engineer? Gotta be cheaper than a new microwave!
