Possible Causes
Burned-out cooktop bulbs, Incorrect replacement bulbs, Failed lamp relay on main PCB, Faulty light level switch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before replacing bulbs.
Steps:
- Access bulbs: Remove the bottom lamp cover screws to access the cooktop bulbs.
- Replace bulbs: Install new bulbs of the exact type and wattage specified by LG (often halogen or incandescent appliance bulbs).
- Test brightness: Plug in and test LOW/HIGH settings. If bulbs work but brightness does not change, the control board lamp relay or dimming circuit may be faulty.
Control board-related light issues require professional diagnosis and repair.
