I sprayed some WD40 round the glass cover, let it rest for 30min. Came back and turn the cover, it worked.

If the bulb cover was not placed in the top right hand corner of these manufacturers ovens and placed in the top centre, maybe us customers wouldn't need to resort to KZbin videos like this for tips and ideas. There is absolutely no reason why manufacturers need to have designed the placement of the lights device in an area nobody can get a grip of. I'll be using a strap wrench to remove mine.

I was skeptical, I must admit that, but this did the trick, thanks 🙂

ive been fighting with mine all week! Ill let you know if it works

I had to come back and put a comment after trying this. I stumbled upon this video after putting all my strength to turn open the oven bulb cover. The packaging tape idea explained in the video worked like a charm. I dint have to warm up the oven though. Thanks a lot for this tip!

OMG. I can’t believe that actually worked! I’ve been trying everything. I’m just wondering whether you recommend putting any lubricant on the threads when I reinstall the cover. I guess it doesn’t matter. I’ll just get out the duct tape again next time. Thanks for your help!

Wow - worked like a charm. Thank you!

Kool, I'll try it now! Thanks

This worked for me combined with WD40 to help loosen that I saw here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7ceGlpjNtooc0. Thanks!

Omg that was Brilliant💡 it took three seconds. Thank you for taking the time online to help others

🫶🤙

Cheers lyle, it worked it was stuck solid, Let there be light.

😂😂😂 Is this is joke? The only this that happens, is the tape stretches. Glass doesn't move at all

Thank you! It WORKED ‼️

Brilliant!! Thank you so much

👏thanks bravo

It worked great for me also, how about world peace next...

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was struggling to get that damn thing out, but it really helped to grab my roommate so she could twist while I pulled it with the packing tape!

i just did this and it came off straight away, after a week of trying WD40 on my hotpoint oven! THANKYOU!!!

I just noticed that not only was this your first video, as you mentioned, it's your only video. I hope video #2 is as valuable when you get it done.

$7.99 for the wrench is a bargain - especially since that's for two of them, shipped and sold by Amazon. And now I'll have them for whatever else you might need to open, even jars. This tip is a great way if you're in a hurry and don't want to wait a couple days for Prime so it's worth watching but I'll wait to get mine off until Wednesday (it's Monday now) when the wrenches arrive. Also, you already loosened yours so it's not exactly clear if the first one was more difficult or not. I assume that it worked mostly as well and that your tip is a great one. It's a great workaround, potentially for other spinning needs as well, for when you don't have the tool. Perhaps an even better lesson from your video is that you demonstrate thinking outside of the box. You remind me of my grandfather who could solve any problem and fix anything.

Great first video! This was exactly the fix I needed.

Successfully followed your tape method without even warming up the oven! Thank you!

This actually helped. Thank you sir

This suggestion didn’t work for me at all. The duct tape snapped as soon as I pulled on it. I even bought the plastic Neff “oven light remover” tool, which also just pops off. In the end I used an old bicycle inner tube for grip and then wrapped a leather belt around it as an improvised strap wrench. A few seconds of that and it twisted right off.

I have had so many strong men to try to take it off with no luck.I am going to try your way .Thank you

Used Gaffer tape..worked 1st time..after many failed attempts trying other ideas...😊😊

Thanks for the helpful tip and taking time to share it!

What do you know!! This trick worked for me!!! Yay! I feel so accomplished now having a working oven light!!

Genius!!

You’re a legend! It worked.

I've literally never had a problem opening a jar, but the light cover in my Samsung was giving me hell. Strap wrench doesn't fit in my gas oven due to a line to the broiler. I used heat + rubber coated gardening gloves to finally get purchase. Thank you!

Great job n tutorial! Appreciate it. Thank you! Great idea too. 👍👍

Great tip! Works great

How about putting it back on

Duck tape broke with hardly any tension

Sheer genius! Thank you

Worked like charm. Thank you, Sir.

Alas, it didn't work for me. I used duct tape after warming to 195. The cover moves slightly back and forth but not enough to come off. Grinding sounds are heard in the attempt.

I just watched 6 different videos on how to change the bulb… I wasn’t strong enough ..so I used a oil filter wrench ..worked perfect …

Worked! Thankyou so much 😁

My oven light cover has a wire over it and the cover is pressure fitted. No screwing. Push the wire to one side cover falls out.Easy peasy.

You my friend, are so brilliant!! 🎉 Way to go with your first youtube video.

You are a saint! I’ve been trying to get that sucker off for a month, came off easy with your method, thanks 😊

15 seconds with duct tape ....to easy thanks bro

Works, thanks alot!!!!

Thank you, sir. RESPECT! I actually did not even have to warm the oven. This took about five seconds.

You did a great job on this video…thanks for the simplest solution I’ve seen.

thanks man - you saved me a few £s

Aloha Lyle. . . and our favorite Latin lurker, et al., I've struggled with this cover nonsense for the last 90 days or so... I'm giving your solution a try this evening... * * * You forgot to mention: "You can thank me later..." [ a good closing for any DIY video venture... (wink) ] * * * With that, I am thanking you now for your effort... very well done for your first endeavor and very helpful for those of us who are not so DIY inclined... (wink) * * * Until that time. . .
