How can I fix the work lights on my Sharp Microwave Oven?

How can I fix the work lights on my Sharp Over-the-Range Microwave Oven (Model No. R-1601)? They burned out last year which was only 1 year after I purchased it. The fan and everything else work fine.

This is a problem with the control unit (circuit board).

This is caused by not disconnecting the microwave from the power line when removing or installing a bulb or by the filaments shorting when the bulb blows.

We repair these controllers nationwide for $39.95.
