Hello - this is Nancy at GE and I am happy to help you. The microwave light will come on when you open the microwave door and when it is is microwaving. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

Disregard those saying 'only when cooking'. The light on this microwave comes on when you open the door. A strangely rare thing theses days. I don't understand why so many microwaves don't have the light come on when the door is open. It's one of the reasons I bought this one.

Yes, there is an interior light that turns on when the oven door is opened. It is a bit dim - so when it goes out I will see if a brighter bulb can be substituted.

Yes and yes.

The Control Panel is not illuminated in any manner - only the clock/countdown timer is LED lit.  It is difficult to impossible to do anything from control panel other than to press the bottom right button, which turns on @ 30 seconds and also adds 30 seconds to countdown timer once it's already running.

This is unfortunate since is transforms an otherwise OK name-brand $99 MW oven into a real cheap MW.  You need a well lit room, plus MW located at eye level since the buttons/font are so small, to actually do anything with this oven.  My guess is an illuminated control pad would add < $5 cost to this unit.  Sad.
