Oven light not working? When to replace the halogen lamp

Oven light failures are usually down to the globe, but repeated heating also cracks lamp holders, burns contacts and makes wiring brittle. When the light flickers, only works when the door is moved, or blows new globes soon after fitting, the holder is often to blame, which is when a complete lamp is worth fitting. The 12V supply comes from a transformer or the control electronics, so if a new lamp still doesn't light, that supply may need checking by an electrician.

Changing the oven lamp

Turn the oven off at the wall or switchboard and let it cool completely. Remove the shelves and runners if they block the lamp. Some BSH lamp covers need a special tool or a flat blade to prise off, so work gently to avoid scratching the enamel. Avoid touching the halogen glass with bare fingers. Fit the new lamp, refit the cover and test the light.

Questions about this part

Can I use a standard 12V 20W halogen globe instead?

Only one rated for oven temperatures. Ordinary halogen globes aren't made for 300°C and can fail quickly or damage the holder. This part is listed with a 300°C rating to suit the oven cavity.
