De Dietrich oven bulb

[opps]

Hi all

A friend has a De Dietrich oven (sorry can't remember the model number). The user manual suggests using rubber gloves to untwist the glass cover for the bulb.

I tried to twist it (anti-clockwise). It just doesn't want to budge. It twists about 5 degrees, but that is it. It does feel as though the rear housing is loose though.

Any (sensible) suggestions?

Might be worth taking the back cover off. To gain access to the lampholder, if it has come loose.

Had a similar problem with our oven, different make though. I took all the shelves out, and after removing a couple of self-tapper screws, the rear plate of the oven came out to expose the fan and the element. The lamp glass was screwed into this plate, so I was able to "manipulate" it so that it would screw out.

I had another go this morning. I managed to remove the glass cover using a Baby Boa Strap Wrench.

The back plate is slightly loose but the problem seems to have been me being too girlie
