   The lamp on mine is behind one of the internal grills and looks as if   
   the whole thing would have to be disassembled to replace. It hasn't so   
   far, and I imagine it could be dangerous to take it apart, with high   
   voltages being retained.   
      
   Someone *did* throw out a microwave near where I live, so I retrieved   
   the turntable and roller guide in case I break mine, as they charge   
   about £25 (including p&p) for a replacement and the oven only cost £40.
