What's up everyone? Welcome back to the Durbin Compound! If you haven't met me already, my name
is Devin Durbin. So today on the channel we're going to do a small how-to video. This is on how
to change an oven light. We've had the light go out in the oven during cooking. And so now here
we are, putting a light bulb in it. So pretty straightforward task. Stick around to the end
of the video where I'll show you a pro tip on something you just might not know about. Let's get down to it!
All right guys, so step one, we're going to get in here. All ovens are pretty much
the same. What I've been looking at, they all are going to have some sort of bulb or some
sort of cover. This one has a spin on glass porcelain piece. It might be a kind of a pain
in the butt to get off. Might be on there kind of tight, but you just unscrew your porcelain
piece and it comes out just like that. So, you're going to put your glass piece somewhere and then
you can thread out your light bulb. Obviously, you do not want to do this when the oven is
nice and hot. So, your light bulb comes out. It's a standard light bulb like this. I highly
recommend you go with an appliance bulb. These appliance bulbs are available at your local box
store. The appliance bulbs are important because they're designed to withstand the extreme
temperatures. So go ahead, I'll roll in a picture of it here. These are about three dollars. And
we'll get this light bulb changed out to a new one. All right, so once you have your light bulb
out of the package, go ahead. We'll thread it in with the door open. The light bulb should come
right on. Obviously, don't look at the light bulb when you're screwing it in. Okay, and we
have illumination. Now we're going to go ahead and replace our glass piece. Make sure it's snug.
You don't want vibration to jar it loose. All right, now it might have required me to look directly
at the bulb to see where I was going, but I'm going to get our glass piece screwed back in here.
If you fight with it long enough, you'll figure it out.
All right, snug it get down and we're good to go. Now we'll make sure that it works. All right,
outstanding! I'm also going to control it by my oven light. Looks good to me! All right guys,
so a quick, simple $3.00 fix. Make sure you get an appliance bulb, so that it will
last, or withstand the test of time, and those crazy temperatures that are inside your oven.
I haven't tried to do with a small regular bulb, but if you're so cheap that you can't
spend the $3.00 on it, then I don't know what to tell you. I think you need to check
up from the neck up. So I promised you guys a pro tip at the end of the video. Let's go
ahead and I'm going to bring you down closer to the oven again, and I'm going to show
you this pro tip, and how working on your oven or doing this light may be even a little easier.
If you ever want to remove the door on your oven, there's a couple different latch designs,
but this latch design is incredibly simple on the LGs. You just pull up this tab here on both
sides. We'll go over to the other side and we'll pull this tab. And I'll show you how easy it
is to take the door off. All right, so some might take a screwdriver to pry it up out of here.
Once you get it pried up out of there we're ready and we can take the door off. So as
soon as you have your latches off on both sides, you can simply lift the door up out
of here and straight off the front of the oven. Pretty simple just like that. Allows you a lot
more access to work on your oven. Maybe you want to work on your light. Just be careful
with your door. And then when you're finished, you can pop it right back into place.
Once you've got it back into place, put your latches back into the original
position and you're good to go. All right guys, I hope you learned something that you didn't
know before. I hope that pro tip really helped you out if you ever want to take off your oven
door. It's a pretty straightforward process. Every brand probably has their own design,
but they're all pretty much straightforward--the same. I'm sure you can figure it out. I hope you
