How do I get bulb cover off even with the gadget just purchased

The Lamp Cover remover tool has just been delivered. Neither of us are able to turn it and remove cover. Is there a technique/trick to this? Thank you.

  • I tried first by hand no go ,so I put on a pair of rubber gloves no problem the cover unscrewed without difficulty PS the oven was only 6 months old I am now going to look for a better designed bulb with an improved filament By Tomfitz - Bristol - 15 October 2013
  • Hi Gadgetmad. When the oven is cold, Play the hot air from a hair dryer over the glass surface for a few minutes. Start off on a low heat first. This should expand the glass cover a little to release the bond. This tip is a bit late as I have just seen your post. By Joseph - - 25 February 2013
  • I just bought one of these gizmos before Xmas and it did the trick immediately. No messing. Worked first time. You have to line up the 'fins' on the glass cover to the recesses in the gizmo. It is quite a secure fit when you get it on. It should just slide on and a sharp twist ANTI clockwise should do it. Make sure you are turning it to the left as you look at the light. Perhaps the glass housing is stuck on with oven / cooking deposits? Try some oven cleaner to free it perhaps? Good luck. By Anonymous - Somerset - 08 January 2013
