Default microwave light

The light in the microwave has failed - I assumed it would be a matter
of replacing the bulb as you do with a fridge or an oven. I undid a
couple of screws and a small panel came off but there was no bulb
there and the manual doesn't mention it at all. What's going on? Is it
not user-replaceable?

Was this cover on the outside, or inside the cooking cavity?
If inside, then I think you have removed the mica window
that covers the antenna on the magnetron.
The lamp is usually on the opposite side to this, look for some
holes in the cavity.
