In most ovens, move the metal bracket to one side. the glass dome cover should fall out. Unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new bulb. Place the glass dome cover back over the bulb. Move the metal bracket to hold on the glass dome cover. Easy job to do.
Hard to give you exact location with brand or model number but here is what you look for. Open the oven door and with a flashlight look over the top and back wall of the inside liner. The light bulb is usually located behind a clear glass round cover. The cover may have a wire retainer across the middle of it to hold the glass. If it does, just flip or push the wire to the side and the glass cover will come loose. Unscrew bulb to replace. If no wire retainer, then there could be a metal plate with screws holding the glass in place. last type would be that the glass itself unscrews to get to the bulb.
The lenses unscrew anti-clockwise, but they can be very stiff and difficult to grip. The best advice I can give you is to double or triple wrap a thick elastic-band around the lens as this will give you much better grip than you will get on the glass alone.
If you are still unable to unscrew the lens, squirt a small amount of WD40 / penetrating fluid down the back of the lens so it runs onto the threads and leave it for 15-20 minutes then try again with the elastic-band grip. Once the lens moves a small amount it will unscrew relatively easily. The constant heating and cooling of the oven causes them to lock.
Please switch off the power supply to the oven before replacing the bulb and make sure you have clean hands when replacing the bulb - grease from your fingers can cause the bulb to fail or shorten its life considerably.
Hope this helps. If you are still unable to unscrew the lens, please let me know.
If the unit is less than two years old, cal 0844 892 8999 and ask for an engineer to come out. Alternatively, put on a pair of marigolds, this will help with the grip and remember that the cover comes of anti-clockwise if you are looking up at it. If you do not want to call an engineer out, call the number above and ask them to post out to you the lamp cover removal tool. Part number 613655.
All the best
Try spraying WD40 onto the glass and bulb holder, try to screw the bulb cover back on first, and then try to unscrew i, it may help if you grasp it with a cloth or similar as you try to unscrew it
Plz rate my solution.
Tghanks.
I went out and bought a 4 inch strap wrench from LOWE's. I had never heard of one before. After figuring out from the diagram how to use it, I wrapped it around the glass bulb cover and did a counterclockwise twist and off it came. P.S. I'm a girl so I feel pretty good about that project
Pry back the bulb glass cover wire spring and remove glass cover. Use heavy rubber gloves or a plastic bottle opener(piece of serrated soft plastic/rubber) and unscrew counterclockwise.
