You know, it really is a terrible design, and has caused me lots of frustration. I bought mine 5 years ago, and when I had to change the light bulbs for the first time I could not figure out how to change them. I tried EVERYTHING, and was off course also afraid to use force, as it could damage the vent. I looked in the instruction too, and found no guide or info. Sooo I went to IKEA and asked 2 people working there in the Kitchen deparment how to do it. They did not know, and simply stood there looking at me as if I had asked them to bring me the moon! So I had no choise but to try again and this time using force. Eventually I was able to get them out, the same way you did, though it is against all logic to do so. I had to change them again now, and had forgotten how to do it, did a YT search and was so happy to find your video! Helped a lot! I payed almost 450 USD for it about 5 years ago, but am very dissapointed with this bad design. Thank you for this video! ☺️💪🏻👌🏻
Thanks! I didn't know the name or serial number of my vent, and was hesitant to try prying the bulb out on my own, but luckily found your video and now I know it can be done! 🎉😅
Hey, thank you very much for this video. It’s the only one that gives clearly steps to change the light bulb of this IKEA model. I worked perfectly for me!! 😊My only contribution here is to maybe use a plastic thing to remove the ring to avoid eventual damage
Have you trie if accessing the light throigh the filter area could have been easier? I'm thinking scratches on the vent from the screwdriver prying 🤔 If you really have to pry, i would use a plastic tool rather than a screwdriver...rental + scratches = trouble...
Excellent! This was very helpful. Here I can see that the buttons on the air vent is extended all the way out, but on mine they appears to be stuck "inside" the vent so I have to use a pen to push them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Id like to add a tip to help. The easier way I found to remove it is to slide the screwdriver flat between the bulb and the metal ring on the inside. Then I put my thumb under the shaft of the screwdriver to create leverage. I the. Pushed down the handle of the screwdriver and it popped down without damage.
Thanks for the vid. i though i was doing something wrong since the bulb on mine started chipping when i tried prying it off, but it was just really stuck
