There is a little door on the side of the unit that opens up. You will see the light from the UV bulb shining through if it is on. (Read your manual!)

Does this Panasonic MW interior light come on when the door is open? I've spent a couple of hours on this. Only user Q/A pages know the answer. Which is: "No. Screw you." The help lines, even Panasonic's own, are clueless or wrong. Ditto the user manuals. Folks, almost no Panasonic MW light is on when the door is open. You heard it here first. This is a deal breaker if you must set your MW in a dimly lit place. All other manufacturer's models have light when the door is open. Panasonic says that light off saves energy. That rationale insults anyone who turns on a light to see what he is working on. Panasonic is arrogant. Does this Panasonic MW interior light come on when the door is open?

No it won't, you have to open the door and close it before the light will go on. You have to change the presure in side the house. In my home you can turn it on by closing the bath room door, or bed room door,the fridge, or evan lighting will turn it on. But just touching the door nob will not do it, you have to open and close the door.

No. There is a light sensor that controls the on/off of the light. That being said the sensor could be covered with something like black tape to trick the light to come on. A.

Looking at a similar question on this item (http://amzn.to/1IdMKuT) it appears that the fan switch is NOT the same as the light switch. The light turns on when the door is open but the fan turns off when the door is open.

No, the only light on the unit is a small green light that lets you know it is on.

No, it does NOT and it's a pain in the neck after having a unit that did have a light in it. I have to turn on the overhead kitchen lights to see inside. Would not buy this unit again.

To my knowledge there is no way to make it come on when you open the door. More frustrating, in order to turn on the light you have to "unlock" the keypad before it'll work. This entails holding down the + and - buttons for three seconds first, then you can turn the light on and off. It's a nice little cooler, but i've essentially written off the light feature given what a pain it is.

The light works like a refrigerator light when the door is closed it hold the button on the end of the light in and when the door opens it releases the button which allows the light to go on. My grandmother had one for her closet and I use one for a cabinet. They are easy and work great.

the light comes on only when the door bell button is pressed. as a side note, the LED night-light on the receiver (chimes) burnt out after 3weeks. however, the LED in the receiver still comes on when the chime is ringing.

Yes, a light goes on when you plug it in. The light goes out when the battery is fully charged.

I don't know what model receiver I have. I do know that the lights go on when the door is opened but that may have nothing to do with either the transmitter or receiver. It might simply be a mechanical switch or other relay that turns the light on when the door is opened. I have never turned the lights on or off using the transmitter without opening the door.

The LED briefly flashes on when the door is opened or closed during normal operation. It does also turn on during initial enrollment.

Mine only lights when you press keys and for a short while afterwards. It works very well, nice to be able to open gate when going away with someone else and not have to carry remote with me. I really like mine..

Underneath, meaning under the unit itself? No. Light turns on when you open the door of course inside. Good microwave, we really like it!

No, the light will remain off only until you close the door and press "start" only then will you see the light. This was also mentioned by other reviewers and so I know its not just me. I guess Panasonic engineers didn't think this was of no importance.
