How to Change a Light in a Quasar Microwave

If the light stops working in your Quasar microwave, it may seem at first glance as though there is no way to replace it. Most microwave manufacturers do not include access panels to change light bulbs in their microwaves because of liability issues. Changing the light bulb in the Quasar microwave is no different than most other brands: The cabinet must be removed. This task can be accomplished in less than half an hour, even by an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer.
