How to Troubleshoot the Night-Light on a GE Profile Spacemaker Microwave

Some models of GE Profile Spacemaker microwaves have an auto night-light feature that automatically turns the surface lights on and off at specified times. This feature is convenient as you may set the lights to turn on at a time when your kitchen gets dark, then turn off after you have gone to bed. The auto night-light feature ensures that you are not wasting electricity by leaving the surface lights running at all times. If the night-light is not properly functioning, you may need to readjust your settings or change the lightbulbs.
