I pushed the touch pad "on" to turn on the counter lights and got a spark out of the touch pad and now the lights don't work. Both bulbs looked fried so I replaced them but they still don't turn on. I hear a click when I push the touch pad "on" or "off". Are these lights fused? The microwave is 16 years old.
We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which
we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid.
This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament
shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first
unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a
failure on the controller.
This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.
Details of our service and critical safety information and disassembly information is at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.
