Oven Halogen Bulb

The oven light burned out and had to replace. Getting the old one out was harder then replacing the new one. They suggest you use toweling when getting the old out out. You take the toweling, wrap it around the bulb then twist the toweling so it's tight around the bulb. Sounds good but towel keeps slipping off. I turned off power to oven ... Read more and used a small screw driver to pry out the bulb. I think that because of the heat in the oven over the years gets the old bulb to set up in its socket. Once out putting the new one in took 30 seconds. Keep in mind, because it's a halogen bulb you need to wrap toweling, Kleenex or something around the bulb to keep the oil from your hands off the bulb.

Removed glass cover over lamps by bending prongs and pulling cover towards door. Pulled bulb straight out. Inserted new bulb (be sure to use cloth to remove bulb, do not touch with fingers). Replaced glass covers.

put on plastic gloves so as to not contaminate the bulbs with oil from hands, removed snap out lens and put new bulbs in sockets.
