The bulb burned out a few days ago and I ordered replacement bulbs and also bought local from a repair store. The problem I am having is that when I push the light button it will not dim or shut off, it stays on. What can be the problem, is there something else that I need to replace?

The under the microwave light will not shut off or it will also not go from high to low. I have replaced the bulb with no luck.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your question. If the light under the microwave will not turn off, you may have a stuck key. Try pressing the button again and then try to press another button to see if it will shut off. If the button is stuck, try cleaning the touchpad to see if this helps resolve the issue. After you have cleaned the touchpad, try playing with the button to see if you can get it to work. Sometimes using a hair dryer on low heat as you massage the button may help. Overtime a film can build up on the ribbon connection connecting the control panel to the electronic control board and it can prevent the touchpad from working correctly. You can remove this film by using a pencil eraser to gently remove the film from the ribbon connection. If this does not help, you may need to replace the control panel. If you have any questions, please let us know. We are open 7 days a week. We look forward to hearing from you!
To replace the light bulb under the microwave there is a cover plate with one screw that has to be removed to replace the light bulb, I have lost the plate and need a replacement together with two additional bulbs. Can you help.

The microwave is about 8 months old. The light underneath stopped working. The pad beeps. It toggles between “HALF” and “FULL.” But the light does not come on. I replaced the bulb, still no light. Next step?

The nightmare was that this microwave is installed under the cabinet....in order to get to the light bulb I had to pull out my stove then squeeze into the space between the stove and counter....my old microwave light bult was much easier to change.....Shame on Whirlpool for making this so difficult.....must be a better way to cover the light bulb so that we do not need a screwdriver to remove the door to get to the light bulb
Unless you have a very comfortable background with electronics and electricity, I don't necessarily recommend taking apart a microwave. If you are very handy and are going to be VERY cautious to follow the rules of discharging caps and testing voltages before moving forward, then go for it. That said, I took the microwave off and apart. Not knowing where to find the parts, I was fortunate that the installer put the instruction book for the microwave inside the front vent slot above the touchpad for reference. it details the location of every part and it tells you very clearly what each part you test should show specific to this microwave on your multimeter. Find this guide online if you don't have it. Turn on the microwave for 20 seconds with a glass of water to make sure it's not heating - that with the noise means it's eeither the magnetron, cap, or diode. Read the notes on this site for all of the basic things to look for with the magnetron, diode, and capacitor. Once comfortable with the guide, locations of those devices, and how to test, then take it down and apart. Unfortunately, I didn't do all those things in that order, and it only wasted a lot of time trying to find the parts. Once I found the parts and put all the screws and covers back for all the areas that didn't need to be accessed for the repair, testing went quickly. The diode was bad. Ordered a new one and had it in 3 days or so. That means your microwave will be apart and sitting somewhere for a little while until you get the part and have time to repair it. Putting the diode back isn't too bad. Reassemble the microwave and put it back up again. If i had to do it again, it would take me 20 to 30 minutes once the microwave was down and on a table. Also, I used some bricks with towels over them or you could use some sawhorses to keep the microwave elevated so you can plug it in and run it after installing the new component. Again, make sure you discharge the cap before touching anything again even if you didn't run it, but just plugged it in.
