Hi everyone,

Much to my wife's obvious delight, I dropped and smashed the glass
cover that fits over our Whirlpool oven bulb earlier.

My question is - can I put the new bulb in and use the cooker without
the bulb cover in place, do I leave the bulb out as well, or would that
only fry the connection inside?

Any advice gratefully received!

Dunno if it's the right advice, but I wouldn't personally want to use
the oven without that cover in place. During cooking there's bound to
be moisture released from the food, and that cover most probably
prevents the moisture getting to where it shouldn't go.

I'm not familiar with that oven, but I suspect you risk damaging
the oven wiring. Some ovens have a cabinet overtemp sensor which
you might trip. If it's a fitted oven, you might damage the
kitchen unit, or worse.

CPC is a likely source of a replacement part. If you order a
Whirlpool part they haven't needed to supply before, they will
create a new part number for it and then order it in.

the glass provides a thermal break, without it the bulb, socket and
wiring will hit 230C+. I wouldnt use it myself. It might work, or it
might fry it.

Good news is that at our local tip there are ovens of all descrioptins
just begging to be stripped for spares..

Thanks everyone!

I'm now even more popular at home, after telling my wife we can't use
the oven until I get this bit from CPC!!

I appreciate all the info, thanks.

Get a price for a spare on if the CPC fails you.
