Replace inside light bulb
The top cover needs to be removed which is held in olace with screws, then the globe is accessable, beware of high voltage so turn power off first,
Oven will not heat but turnstyle and other
several of the GEs i have worked on with your symtoms turned out to be bad magnetrons ... if the magnetron gets too hot then it will go bad .. you can get it really hot by running it without anything in the oven .. but several of the failures were caused by a fan mount failure ... there is a fan that cools the magnetron .. it is mounted on a plastic framework .. if the plastic breaks or distorts then the fan is not aimed in the correct direction .. the air goes around the magnetron instead of thru it and it fails to cool the magnetron ... so in these cases the fan framework was repaired and a new magnetron installed .. often that repair costs more than a new microwave oven .. there are other things that will cause the same trouble .. a high voltage diode, a capacitor, a transformer, a relay and a high temperature cut out switch ... the cutout automatically resets once things cool down but it can go bad .. the cost of some of these things is not high but labor often dictates the repair vs replace decision ... magnetrons cost a lot unless you have connections .. .at any rate you dont want to be powerering the microwave when its taken apart .. with the cover off there is potentially fatal voltage and current avalible by just touching the wrong thing .. ..

No Power at all
If it came installed in the house, it may have its own breaker switch. I'd check the breaker. Have any outlets in the kitchen gone out as well? This would support the breaker switch idea.
Hope this helps.
