Needed to replace burned out light
Simply remove the cover after unplugging the Microwave. The light is attached to a bracket and unplugs from the electrical system and then pops out. Replace with the new bulb and bracket, reattach the electrical connection and replace the cover. Less than 15 minutes. Just need a special star screwdriver bit with a hole in the middle to remove and replace the screws holding the cover to the frame.

Completely Dead
After opening the case (the most difficult part of the job), tested the fuse (good) next in line on the power lead was the "flame sensor". With my ohmmeter it read open. The schematic noted that it opens at 212 degrees and closes at 32. Put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while I ordered a replacement. Upon rechecking, it had reset. Reinstalled it and everything works fine. I did receive the new one and it's on the shelf, just in case.

Replace lamp that lights the interior when the door is opened.
Remove bezel (4 Phillips sheet metal screws). Pull out unit and unplug from wall. Remove three sided steel cover (T15 or T20 safty bit required). Unclip double wire plug from base of lamp. Unclip and pull up on the lamp/bracket - discard. Push down new lamp/bracket, plug in wire socket to base of lamp/bracket. Replace steel cover and 4 'safety headed screws'. Lift unit, replug into wall socket. Insert into wall. Replace bezel and 4 Phillips sheet metal screws. Without the special "safety screw bit", this repair is impossible.
