Just had the same thing after cleaning the oven. Mostlikely, the upper hinge on the left side of the oven door is out of alignment and not hitting the switch. Take the door off and gently bend the upper arm of the hinge inward and it should hit the switch. Otherwise, take of the left side panel (really easy, 6 screws) and you can see for yourself how the upper arm of the hinge hits/ should hit the swithch.
Replacement of the
lamp should be carried out by a qualified appliance repair service.
YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!
Attempt
this only if you are competent.
But here is a basic method if you are
mechanically minded and have electrical safety knowledge.
The lamp is sat in a housing and its
position is adjacent to the vent holes that it shines through.
If
you feel confident, disconnect it from the mains power, remove
anything in the cavity.
Remove the microwave cover. Purchasing a
new replacement lamp will be useful as it will give you an idea of
what it looks like. Locate the dead lamp remove the lamp and fit the
new one. Replace the covers. Plug it back in and try the lamp by
opening the door.
Hope this helps.
