An oven bulb should be an oven bulb, no?

JustAnotherSaver

So our oven bulb has gone & looking for a new one. Oven isn't a fancy thing. Was in the house when we bought it & looks like they got Currys budget range I guess.

Oven: Logik LBFANX12

Bulb appears to be an E14, allegedly. The cap (which i can't get off at the mo) states on the face of it "MAX 26W".

So the wife jumps on the tinternet & finds this.

Varying wattage, varying bulb heads, varying prices and I suspect delivery charges on top.

Well, I have Amazon Prime for a little while yet so I wont pay for postage there. I searched "E14 Oven Bulb" and obviously a ton came up but they say fits this model, that model & that's the bit that made me stop to ask - surely an E14 bulb is an E14 bulb, the only question would be to match it up with the bulb head that's in there right now. Is it one of these or is it one of these, i'd need to check.

Which brings me on to my 2nd & final question ... I know it's a bit silly but tips on getting it out?

I had a bit of a go the other day and it felt like there was some resistance so I stopped as I didn't want to force it and have it go in my hand. I didn't want to start squirting the squirty juice either to free it off in case someone reading this says that they did that and their food ended up tasting like WD40 for weeks.

Any E14 oven bulb will do, but if it says "MAX 26W" and it's incandescent, it's better not to exceed the wattage.

Most likely, you need to turn/rotate the cover/cap to remove it.

Looks to be a 1/4 turn bayonet-style glass cover (they very frequently are).  Probably stuck in via burnt on grease, so some force will be needed initially.

300C rated lamp - get a decent brand if possible as some clones will not last long.

E14 only defines the screw thread on the base of the bulb. The rest of it could be any shape, size or wattage.

Yup. The bulb needs to be rated for high temperatures. So don't go using a cheap one and certainly don't waste your money popping an LED bulb in.

Use a washing up glove to give you some grip without having to squeeze it too hard.

And it might work on the oven lamp too......

Cleaned the oven yesterday and was struggling to get the lamp cover off. I heated the oven up to 100C for a short while then OH managed to shift it gripped in a teatowel.

Home Bargains usually sell the oven Pygmy  bulbs. I think they're about 89p for 2.

Which, sadly, is not the one the OP needs. 

The lampholder is only rated at 25 Watts (OP reads it as MAX 26W, but that's easy to do)  and a 40W lamp would either damage the connectors/wiring or last a fairly short time due to over-heating.

Was just about to say when I saw the 40W mark but you got there for me.

I'm not 100% sure on the 26W. I had a torch in there & was looking for a while trying to make out whether it was a 5 or 6. Looked like a 26W to me but i thought bizarre number so must be 25W.
