Shorted light socket

Microwave Repair
1

:frowning: I shorted out the light socket. What part might be the issue? The light kept going out earlier and earlier so I was checking the voltage and I shorted the socket and now I have no current at the socket. The lower switch at the door seems to send power to the light and I have current to the switch, but none coming out. The switch continuity is fine when removed and the microwave works fine, but no power to the light socket. Help Please. Thank you :slight_smile:

Both the interior and hood lights are operated by the microwave control board. So, the solution is to replace the control board.
