Does the interior light come on when the door is opened?

Yes it did while it was operational. However, I do not use this microwave any longer as it failed in just over a year. The door latch which triggers the on/off function failed and the cost and effort to repair was more than the value of the machine. See other customer reviews with same problem. I do not recommend it even with a extended warranty due to the return hassle issues.

Yes it does. The light will be on a lot since the door is defective and does not close properly most of the time.

Yes there is a separate light that comes on when you press the button to turn it on. It works great.

No, the light comes on when you turn it on. I love it. It is very sensitive, no worries about knocking it over, it will cut off immediately.

The light does come on in ours. However our digital clock is fast and has never been correct since we took it out of the box.

it comes on when operating but not when you open the door. Great Microwave. Reheat sensor is the best!

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

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

No. But you just move and the light will turn on again. My cat easily turns it on each morning when she walks by. LOL

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.

The interior light is ONLY on during operation of the microwave. It does NOT come on when you open the door. It is not a problem unless you live in a dark room. Ambient room light will serve all your needs for safe operation of the appliance. We love ours for sure.

Just tested it out and no the light does not come on when you open the door. I see that another reader responded that it does come on automatically so there might be a way to set the light but I haven't had time to investigate by reading the manual so to my knowledge it does not automatically come on.

Yes, the inside lights up blue when on. It's not so bright that it would interrupt sleep but bright enough to tell it's lit up in daylight.

No, there is a cord with a floor switch on it to turn the light on and off.

it does, it's at the top, and it opens up when the lighting is dim and you have it on automatic. It opens immediately when you select the Flash on option

No, just a high and low setting (which there is very little difference between the two) The light only comes on when it is dark in the room though.

Yes, it has its own light when the door is open and when the thing is use. Plenty bright but not annoyingly so. Hope that helps
