You need to first unplug the microwave. Then if you look at the back/bottom, there are screws/bolts holding on the outer metal cover on the microwave. Remove all screws that you find on the outside and the outer panel will come off and give you access to the light bulb that you can then replace. Let me know if you need any more help on this.

It's pretty simple as long as you have an offset phillips screwdriver...

Of course, be sure to disconnect power to microwave and be sure not to touch the new halogen bulb with fingers.

STEP-BY-STEP:
First, remove upper vent panel and remove inner filter (same directions for just replacing inner carbon filter):


Then, remove inner plastic grille (2 screws) and final screw on left side of metal "air duct" - here's where you'll need the offset screw driver (and a little patience!):


Then, you can gently lift the sheet metal panel, find the light housing, squeeze and remove/replace :)



That's it...just replace bulb and reverse for reassembly. Be sure to keep track of screw locations there are various sizes/lengths used.

One of the door switches is defective, caused by a build up of food particles or normal ware, to correct this a professional will need to identify the problem and replace it.

Please feel free to post this again with a description of problem.

well pull the plug or go out to your circutbraker/fusebox and finde the fuse for the oven. then you coud try to open the oven (while its not connected to power!) and try to clean the swiches...

There are TCOs (thermal cutouts) which also can fail or blow, resulting in "no power" conditions.All but one of them should be accessible without taking the oven from the wall. At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes. The full service manual is here. You can find helpful exploded views and order GE parts here. BUT there is one TCO which has thinner wires of a color other than black or white. This is the hood TCO and should read "open" or "infinite" which is correct. All other TCOs should read shorted or virtually zero ohms on a continuity test, as should the fuse. The cavity TCO is only accessible by removing the oven from the wall, then taking off its outer cover. When taking the oven from the wall, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward. You can download GE owner's manuals and installation instructions here. We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

marcone.com is the place to order that part

It is one of two things, faulty door switch, or the keypad control board.

microwaves are lethal tools , do not mess with it , a friend used to repair these and cooked his inside , throw it away and get a new one ,

The problem is the microprocessor control board, professional should verify.

The door switches should be checked, often food partical buildup will cause one or more to malfunction.
