Cant remove oven light cover

When the timer, clock etc didn't light up my oven stopped working. Replaced the clock display unit and all is now fine. A simple switch over just remove one wire at a time and place it on the new unit, the only difficult part was gaining access to remove the display unit itself.

You need a new oven element. The oven element is not visible inside the oven as it is located around the fan, behind a safety panel. Its a simple DIY job if you are handy. Isolate oven from power. Look inside oven to rear panel where fan is located and there should be 4 screws holding the safety panel in place to cover the fan, Remove cover and you should be able to see the element which will probably be circular and mounted around the fan. Remove the element and take with you to ensure a correct replacement at your parts dealer.

Oven Lighting
Warning: Risk of electric shock! Prior to changing the oven light bulb:
- Switch off the oven!
- Disconnect from the electricity supply.
Place a cloth on the oven floor to protect the oven light and glass cover.
Changing the oven light bulb/cleaning the glass cover
1.Remove the glass cover by turning it anti-clockwise and then clean it.
2.If necessary: replace with 25 watt, 230 V, 300 °C heat-resistant oven lighting.
3.Refit the glass cover.

I boiled the kettle, added the hot water to a tray and placed it in the oven, shut the door then left it for 10 minutes so it steams up the oven (make sure power is off first). Do the same again. Then get a multi grip spanner and place a kitchen rag over the cover and turn to the left. It does take a bit of force depending on how stiff it is, but the steam will loosen the cover. The steam also cleans the oven quite a bit too!!

The oven lights are 12-volt, 5-watt maximum halogen bulbs. They
will come on when the oven door is opened. On double oven
models, both upper and lower lights will come on when either
door is opened. The oven lights will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. When the oven door is closed, press OVEN
LIGHT to turn them on or off.
To Replace:
Before replacing, make sure the oven is off and cool.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove glass light cover by grasping the front edge and
pulling away from oven




3. Remove bulb from socket.
4. Replace bulb, replace bulb cover by snapping back into wall.
5. Reconnect power.

I will assume that the ZDQ695 bulb replacement procedure is the same as that for the ZDQ695A. The ZDQ695 uses a 25 W appliance light bulb (300 C). Unplug the appliance before starting. Open the oven and remove the racks for space to work. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the side of the oven and the glass cover above the bulb. With your hand support the cover and pry it away from the wall of the oven until it releases. Push the top of the cover towards the oven wall and use your fingers to pry the bottom of the cover away from the housing. Then remove the cover. Unscrew the old bulb (counterclockwise) and then remove the bulb. Then screw in the new bulb. Replace the glass cover (position the flange so that it is pointing to the back of the oven) by pushing it into the hole to cover the bulb assembly. Replace the shelves and close the oven door before plugging the oven back in.

I hope this helps.

YES IN FACT THE FRONT PANEL DOES COME OFF,, JUST THE DISPLAY BOARD THOUGHT, that is where you can get to the switches,,, but sorry to tell you i cant even get the part i have 7 places i can get parts and all of them say it is discontinued,, thats not saying you cant find one it is just going to be a long and hard processe

is it a wire? tilt wire to a side. if no wire its a glass thread

Hopefully someone answered your question by now. If not, the glass bulb cover sticks sometimes, but it does turn counterclockwise. Be firm with it, let it know who's boss. Once you've removed it, you can replace the 40 watt appliance bulb. (The manual suggests you unplug the range or disconnect power for your safety). Good luck.

The problem is they overheat because hot air is drawn in by the blower and overheats the outer chamber of the oven where the thermo fuse link is. The one or two fuse links are blown simple replacement but have to remove oven (two person job) remove outer shell and find it (them) in the back of the oven. Also the fuse link wire going into the main processor is probably blown.
