Genuine Plastic Tool for removing bulb cover £7 on amazon amzn.to/2TMUnry

For anyone attempting this, you dont need pliers or a special tool to remove the glass cover. Just a tea towel or gloves to protect your hands. It just unscrews anti clockwise, if anything pliers run the risk of damaging the glass cover. The cover is basically a small jar, unless it baked on you'll be fine with your hands.

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@vrvrvr81]

Yeap, worked for me as well, The 14 W is not very bright. I have accidentally bought the 14 W. The Bosh manual, at least for my oven recommends 40W.

[@CastleKnight7]

Leave the oven on 200 degrees centigrade for three minutes to heat up the grease that has caked the glass cover. Then with rubber gloves you should be able to twist it off anti-clockwise.

I was able just to unscrew it with my hands and didn't need any grips. I'd suggest trying this first just in case. Took me 5 secs. Cleaned it with wire wool and washing up liquid. Worked just as well. Took 5 mins. My bulb says 240v and 40w. Phillips Poland. 300 deg EQ. D817 I THINK!?

I'm looking at this for the first time, and had a question. There's a wire that holds the light cover in place (the cover is not a screw on, screw off type). I lost this wire, so can I use a coat hanger wire in place of it? I really don't want to jump through hoops in order to find a replacement.

I don’t see a problem making a wire, hope you have success, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bonniebooshka8831]

Thanks for a clear video. For me the bulb keeps turning round and round in the socket but doesn't bite. There is a metal washer which seems to have come out with the bulb - it fits over the bulb thread and covers about 2 turns of the thread. I can't work out how to get the washer back into the socket - I've tried inserting the bulb with the washer attached to it, but it doesn't bite. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[@aaanton11]

There isn't normally a washer in there, try fitting it without it.Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@bonniebooshka8831]

@@aaanton11 Thanks! Washer may be the wrong word - it looks like a washer but has a thread inside and outside of it, so it threads over the bulb but also into the fitting. I think the bulb threaded part was too narrow and this widens it. Anyway I've ordered the same bulbs that you used, which look wider than mine, so hopefully that will solve it.

[@bonniebooshka8831]

@@aaanton11 Further to my reply from yesterday, I ordered the Philips 25W SES E14 bulb you suggested, but unfortunately the bulb base is too narrow and doesn't screw into the fitting. - it just keeps turning around. Is there an oven bulb which has a wider base? I looked for the E17 bulb online but it seems to be only for microwaves.

Many thanks for this video.......had tried by hand to remove the glass cover several times which was impossible & caused a great deal of stress, agitation & swearing......Had spoken with Bosch last week before seeing the video & they sold me a plastic removal tool & a new bulb at a cost of £15.80 !! The plastic removal tool is not much use when some imbecile at Bosch has torqued up the glass cover unit to the the same lb/ft as a car wheel nut !! Take a bow Bosch whilst I clap & blow a trumpet with a flag on it for a very poor design.....Thankfully my grips where large enough to fit round the glass cover & less than 30 seconds later the cover was off......a brilliant & simple solution to a unnecessary problem created Bosch.
