# How to Replace the Light Bulb in a Frigidaire Microwave Model FMV157GC
The twin surface lights, located beneath plastic covers on the bottom of the Frigidaire FMV157GC microwave, provide lighting to the cooking surface of the oven below. As the microwave gets older and parts begin to wear, the bulbs eventually burn out. Installing a replacement in one or both of the light sockets involves removing the plastic cover with a screwdriver. This task is easy to complete at home without special electronics knowledge.
