How many ----does it take to change a light bulb?

You've all heard the same, old, joke (just fill in the blanks)

Yesterday, we had a power failure. The bulk in our Jenn-Air microwave (which only lights when it is running) burned out.

I was quite surprised that there is no way to access (if I can ever find it) the bulb without removing the microwave from the wall. There is no visible light bulb from the inside and only one opening inside the microwave with small cover. I removed the cover...it isn't there.

After looking online, it appears there is no way for a novice to change the lightbulb.

So, the answer to this joke seems to be...It will take a professional and a $100, or more.

Why would anyone design a microwave where you can't access a $2.00 bulb to replace it?
 
You owner's manual might say how. If you don't have one, you might be able to download a .pdf file if you search for it by make and model. There just might be an easy trick to it.
 
It's pervasive! The light behind the frequency display in the built-in stereo (basically a car stereo) in our RV trailer quit. I'm told to throw away the stereo and replace it. Seems a waste for a seed-light that's maybe 25 cents!

I have the manual. No help there. I have a AHS Home Warranty, so it will cost only $60...not $100 to change the light bulb.

This will be the last Jenn-Air appliance for us.
