the flourscent light under the microwave unit comes on for approximately 3 minutes and then goes out. Is this a bulb problem or a "starter" problem. I cannot find the "starter", if it is, like on a normal flourscent light mechanism. Thanks in advance

Probably a bad tube, just get the number from it to find a new one.
