How to Change the Light Bulb on a Magic Chef Microwave Appliance

The light bulb mounted to the underside of your Magic Chef microwave illuminates the cooking surface of your stove, replacing the light that is normally built into the extractor fan assembly. The 30-watt bulb in the light fixture will inevitably burn out after several years of use. Installing a replacement is uncomplicated and takes less than five minutes. Any 30-watt incandescent bulb with the correct attachment is suitable for use with your oven.
