Hello Coy, You should be able to access the microwaves' interior light by removing the air grill W10259232 and then the light cover 8206382. The air grill is held in place by two screws threaded in from the top toward the floor. When these two screws are removed, the air grill should shift to the left and come straight out. The light is then located directly under the light cover.
