Replace Bosch Oven Light - GGrrrr
Hi all
Not sure how common a problem this is or whether it is a design flaw. Whenever I need to replace the oven light, the glass cover that protects the bulb is always seized in, probably something to do with cycling temperatures mixed with vapourised food particles. Anyhow, this time it seems to be worse than ever. Either that or I am getting weaker which is highly likely. The glass cover which is about 2-1/2" diameter has a thread on it, so the whole thing screws into a plate at the top of the oven. It doesn't screw into the oven casing itself but rather a plate above this which moves a bit when turning the glass cover (this is not really relevant but a detail which seems strange to me). Unfortunately, the glass cover is surrounded by heating element so it is not possible to get one of those rubber strap type oil filter remover gizmos on it. Does anyone have any words of wisdom on methods to get the glass cover to unscrew please? And yes, according to the instruction manual I am turning the thing the right way (although I have tried "tightening" it in an attempt to free it off). Thanks Phil |

Ours are oblong, either side, slide in to latch and yes they too jam. I get a heavy block of wood and tap them with that, which always frees them - though next time I intend smearing some high melting point grease on the mating surfaces, to see if that helps. |

Thanks Phil I found a device akin to a large socket which fits over the cover and provides a large knob to turn. This was for a Bosch oven - part found on Amazon, ISTR Still got it, but no label on it - sorry. Oh and make sure the power to the oven is turned off. Some form of interlock was in mine.

I think that is worth a try. Another option would be to apply a few turns of PTFE tape, making sure you don't leave any loose that could get on to an element. The problem arises from the cover threads becoming "glued" with lacquers formed by oxidised oils and fats. |

That was my impression too. :-( Anyhow, this time it seems to be worse than ever. Either that or I am getting weaker which is highly likely. Yep! That too :( The glass cover which is about 2-1/2" diameter has a thread on it, so the whole thing screws into a plate at the top of the oven. It doesn't screw into the oven casing itself but rather a plate above this which moves a bit when turning the glass cover (this is not really relevant but a detail which seems strange to me). It's a stainless sheet steel construction with a hole punched out and the edges formed into a single screw thread matching that of the glass cover. It minimises the area of contact with the glass in the hope of minimising the strength of the 'glue bond line' that forms over the years of utter neglect between actual lamp failures. Unfortunately, the glass cover is surrounded by heating element so it is not possible to get one of those rubber strap type oil filter remover gizmos on it. Does anyone have any words of wisdom on methods to get the glass cover to unscrew please? And yes, according to the instruction manual I am turning the thing the right way (although I have tried "tightening" it in an attempt to free it off). Reading this reminded me about the last time I was forced to remove these covers in order to replace a lamp some two or three years back. Thus reminded that the time to give them their annual (biennual?) routine extraction/clean up/insertion cycle was now probably way overdue, I decided to check the lamp fixtures in our Bosch double oven to see whether the great care I had taken to NOT over-tighten both covers _and_ lamps had actually done some good. Whilst the covers _and_ the lamps seemed a bit tight initially, I _was_ able to extract them without much difficulty (at least to the extent of thoughts "There MUST be a special tool for this!" not springing to mind like the last time I did this job). The main fan assisted oven which only gets used one or twice a year (Christmas time) was, as I expected, the easiest to check out (but still surprisingly tight to start with). That lamp is tucked away into the upper right hand back corner, suitably angled to illuminate the oven interior. I guess this helps minimise the inevitable build up of crud as well as make it a little easier to get a hand grip on the cover. The upper toaster/oven, otoh, locates the lamp dead centre in its roof in amongst the toaster elements just like you described. This is the one that sees frequent and regular use so I was expecting this to prove a little harder to deal with. It was, but not enough to consider spending over a fiver on a "Use once every five years" lamp cover extraction aid. The glass cover, unlike that of the main oven cover glass, was in a far from pristine state, so I landed up making a near futile attempt to clean off the brown varnish coating from the textured surface moulded into the glass (it really does need the use of a small wire brush to do this justice). However, a 100% or so boost in light transmission justifies the ten minutes or so I'd spent on removing something like 50% or so of this light absorbent coating (especially as I'm using a 25W pygmy oven lamp rather than an over-priced Bosch 40W original - the main oven meanwhile, remains blessed with a full fat 40W replacement). The cheaper 15W pygmy oven lamps will still fit the Bosch oven lamp holders so are worth having in the kitchen spares drawer as cheap 'get you by spare'. Even better if you can spot any of these in the 25W rating since the reduction in light output is far less than that of the more commonly available 15W lamps (but any amount of illumination is better than none at all). The key to saving on the expense of a 'special extraction tool' in this case, would appear to be adding a reminder to every new kitchen calendar you buy, to check them over once a year (November seems as good a choice of month as any). And, of course, not forgetting to take great care to not over-tighten the covers or the lamps when re-fitting them. ;) -- Johnny B Good |

My own (and seemingly others') experience suggests Bosch may have designed the thin pressed out of stainless steel threaded plate glass cover holder to do exactly the opposite, ie tighten it up in response to such vibration and/or thermal cycling. :- -- Johnny B Good |
