wither it fell out of place or needs replacement

I am not familiar with this particular model, however it appears to be a screw in bulb. Find the manual here: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/C8940848.PDF And the part is here: http://www.repairclinic.com/Amana-Microwave-Lighting-Light-Bulb-Parts I hope this is helpful.

This seems to be a failure of the control panel pad or switch as it does not take the command.

The only way possible to see if the touch pads are working is to test the voltage of the control pads when it contacts. The input of the Microprocessor should be checked for the pad control impulse to come in. If there is no trigger voltage to the mP this can be the control pad problem. The mP must be checked for the working voltage and also the frequency oscillation at the crystal leads. If so the mP is working with a suspected control pads which are not able to set the program or timing. There is no way but to remove the sticker pad and replace, One difficult way to have a chance is to remove the carbon sticker pads and check continuity , You can use a carbon pen to line the tracks so that the multi-meter reads a continuity. With this you can have a temporary fix

The magnetron in the microwave oven is shorted, "heats food"

I would need a full model number and more detail to help you on this.I'm wondering if you mean that the keypad is not responding to input, or the beeper is not working when you press a key or when it's done cooking.If the former, then you have a failed membrane keypad. We can help you with more information with the full model number and detailed symptoms.If the latter, the beeper may be turned off via the control panel. You'd have to consult your owner's manual for information on whether it ahs that feature, and how to activate and deactivate it.Feel free to contact me for a free estimate or DIY info, including part help.

Switch is in the body of the microwave...

Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...

Code F4 means you need to repair the line to or replace the oven temperature sensor. The line typically runs from the display to the back of the oven, you'll have to trace it yourself. The oven sensor should be mounted to the back of the oven lining (Obviously on the inside) by two screws. Disconnect the power from the unit and unmount the sensor to check it, you should have around 1080 ohms of resistance but first you'll have to get that annoying plastic housing of wires through the mount hole and disconnect it so you don't lose it inside the oven. If you don't see screws from the inside of your oven than you'll have to remove the back panel to access them, but this may be a good thing as you don't have to worry about fiddling the plastic connector piece into the oven. You're measuring the resistance from one lead to the other inside that plastic housing, again at around 1080 ohms in a 70 degree environment. If you're way off, or 5 - 6 ohms off, you'll need to replace the sensor. If the error occurs while cooking you can also run the oven hot, turn off and disconnect the power and take your measurements again. If they read the same your wiring harness should be okay and replace the sensor.

Oh and btw, you'll most likely have to splice the wires to adapt to your new sensor they're never the same.. not in my experience lately anyway.

The original Amana part number was R0713642, but it appears to be discontinued.

Luckily, there are currently two available new in the bag here for $39.90 each plus shipping.

You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

It may be the fuse, which is usually located behind the grille or on the floor of the oven behind the control panel or between the door switches.

If the fuse is good, it may be an open thermostat or thermal cutout (TCO) / thermal fuse on or near the magnetron or on top of the cavity / body of the oven.

At our site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

There may also be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

You can visit Daewoo online or call them at 1-800-323-9668 or 1-800-553-4355 to find parts or find your nearest authorized service center to have them do the work.
