    the light goes on and off as you open and shut the door. if the light is now off, then the door must be shut.......

    Try tightening it up. It might be a screw-in job and just have worked loose. If it works sometimes, then you don't need a new bulb.

    Hold it with a clean, dry tea towel as the bulb will get hot fairly quickly once it's lit.

    They'll have replacement bulbs in other shops than the 'electric shop', try B & Q...


    Take the old one with you to get like-for-like.
