How to replace a t5i bulb for my pop up flash? I was shooting macro with a metal reverse ring and I was shooting grains of salt near the microwave and the bulb just popped loud! I don’t know if it was from the microwave or just coincidence but does Anyone have any idea how much the bulbs cost and what model bulb is it? Clearly and hopefully you can see the shards of glass in the pop up flash

Remove the top grill assembly. It is usually held on by 2 screws going down through the cabinet top. You may need to tap the grill to the left slightly to get the tabs to release. Once the grill is off, look near the middle of the top edge of the microwave frame for 1 screw that looks like it goes through a metal lip. It will be right above the inside light bulb area. remove screw and then pull the metal tab towards you. The complete light bulb assembly will slide up and out towards you. Replace bulb and reassemble microwave.

you have to remove the plug and then the outer casewhich is 4-5 screws on the back,you will find a air duct on the left hand side of the magnetron which is a metal box with two wires on the bottom.the bulb hosing is kept in with a screw and a metal tab,undo the screw and remove the two wires and that is the unit you have to replace,it is called a cap less bulb as it is one unit,reassembly is the reverse.hope this helps regards les

The magnetron may be arcing, get warm soapy water and remove all food particals from inside of microwave oven until spotless, and check the hood for bare metal.

Hi,

Do you mean you want to replace light bulb for your microwave? If yes follow the instructions below;

1. PLEASE UNPLUG YOUR MICROWAVE!
2. Picture of your microwave with a phone or camera so that you don't forget how to assemble it back.
3. Remove the two screws that holds grill. They are located at the edge of the unit. Once the screws are out, rotate the grill forward from the top. It will pop right out.
4. Once the screws are out, rotate the grill forward from the top. The grill should pop right out.
5. Locate a small access cavity on the left.
6. Remove the screw that is located near the front of the microwave door.
7. Lift up the sheet metal floor to access the bulb. The bulb is located under the sheet metal "floor" on the left.
8. Place a flash light on the microwave floor and shine the light in the light area. This will help you see better when you replace your bulb.
9. Look for a small shiny reflector that hides the bulb. Use your two fingers to squeeze it a bit. Making sure not to bend it.
10. The bulb connection should come right out.
11. After you replaced the bulb, re secure the reflector and the sheet metal floor with the single screw. Test the bulb by plugging in your microwave.
12. Once you see that the bulb works. Unplug your microwave again and re attach the front grill. You are now done.

I hope this helps to solve your problem.

Good luck.

Remove the screws above the grill. remove grill, unscrew control panel, bulb is behind control panel or behind grill.

The cover has to come off the microwave to access the bulb. There are several screws around the back and sides. Remove these and the cover should lift off, revealing the bulb. For your own safety, make sure that the microwave has been unplugged from the outlet for several hours before attempting this repair.

this could be caused by a shorted diode or bad transformer in the unit itself, diodes are generally inexpensive repairs and are fairly easy to perform. Transformers are quite a bit more expensive and can be more difficult to replace. The diode is the most common problem. To test the diode you can either use a ohm meter or a "AA" battery, short piece of wire or rolled up alluminum foil, scotch tape and a flashlight light bulb, to use the bulb technique simply dismantle the flashlight until you can easily access the 2 connectors of the bulb (one located at the bottom of the bulb and the other being the metal bulb casing) then take the twisted up alluminum foil and tape one end to one end of the battery ensuring the is a good connection, then tape the other end of the alluminum foil to the metal casing of the light bulb, after these steps have been performed, remove the diode from the microwave completely so all u have in your hands is the diode (they are usually connected with a flat terminal and a screw), if 2 identical flat terminals are used, be sure to make a small diagram of how the diode came out (if the white line on the diode is connected to the microwave transformer, be sure to install it the same way, improper installation can cause more damage!) now that you have the diode out simply touch one end of the diode to the battery and the other end to the untaped connector of the light bulb, if the light comes on, reverse the diode, if the light is still on when reversed the diode is short, if the light doesn't come on when reversed the diode is fine, current will only pass one way through a good diode and will pass through both directions if its bad, and in very rare cases the diode will not conduct in any direction. if the diode is fine I would have to suggest taking it into a service center or considder buying a new one as other parts can be in the $70-$160 range. hope this helps.
