Unplug the range or disconnect the power to change the bulbs or service the lights. If a bulb is broken, the leads will be live when the door is open. To replace the bulb, unscrew the glass cover and remove the bulb. Replace the bulb ONLY with a small, 40-watt appliance bulb. Replace the glass cover. Be careful to avoid scratching or chipping the paint inside the oven. |
You might be able to remove the socket from inside the oven without removing the back cover. Remove the glass cover and the bulb. Use a screwdriver to bend the clips away from the edges of the oven liner hole and pull the socket out of the liner. If you can’t get it out this way, you’ll have to remove the back cover to push it through or sacrifice it and replace it with a new socket assembly. |
Pull the socket through into the oven. Disconnect the wires from the socket terminals. You might tape them to the oven wall to keep them from jumping back into the hole while you replace the socket. Press the socket into place properly oriented. Replace the bulb and glass cover. |
