How to Change an Oven Light Bulb

In this article, we're going to run you through how to replace an oven lamp in a Whirlpool cooker step by step.

If the lamp in your oven breaks or stops working, you'll need to replace it so you can continue to check on food cooking inside your oven without needing to open it and let heat out. Fortunately, the process is fairly quick and is one you can easily carry out for yourself.

Make sure your cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains before carrying out any repairs or replacements.

Let's begin! To learn how to replace the lamp in your Whirlpool cooker, simply watch the video or follow the step by step guide below.

With the cooker switched off, reach inside and unscrew the lamp cover at the back. Once the cover is removed, you can then unscrew the lightbulb too.

To find out exactly what kind of replacement bulb you need, refer to the old one. The information should be printed on the bulb itself so you can purchase the correct replacement.

Once you've got a replacement lamp at hand, you can go ahead and screw it into place at the back of the cooker. Once the lamp has been fitted, screw the cover back into place over it too.

And it's that simple! Now your oven lamp should be lighting up and working properly once more.

However, it's important to remember that keeping your oven well maintained includes more than just replacing the bulb when necessary. You should also make sure you keep your oven clean. Otherwise, it can start emitting bad smells, spoil your food and not work as efficiently. Fortunately, we have an article on how to clean your oven thoroughly so you can keep it in great shape!
