How to Replace the Bulb on a Sharp R-1502 Microwave

If you use your microwave frequently, it's a good bet that the light will burn out before you replace the unit. In the Sharp R-1502 microwave, there are two bulbs. The work light is the one that shines while the microwave is in use, and the night light is the one that turns on each time you open the door. Both bulbs have a limited life span and can be replaced after they burn out.
