I have a creda 5tcc collection electric cooker, the lamp bulb is no longer working and i need to replace it.i am having difficulty removing the old one. can you please advise me how this can be done

Mr Barry Kitt, May 2013

The bulb itself will screw in - anticlockwise to remove it - if it's stuck firm and or the glass of the bulb has shattered then DISCONNECT THE POWER (something I failed to do one time) and use a pair of pointed nose pliers to get some movement on the base of the bulb.

The lamp fitting will have a thick glass cover - if circular in shape it will unscrew anticlockwise - a damp rag will help you get a grip - gentle tapping with a block of wood as a chisel maybe.

If the cover glass is rectangular then it will be held in place with spring clips - prise the cover off with a big flat bladed screwdriver.

You are silent about the specifics of the difficulty it's giving you.

Good luck...
