I think the lamp in my halogen oven has just blown. Can I get a replacement bulb?

Is that a rhetorical question? :-D

There are a number of results if you search for "replacement bulbs halogen ovens"

Thank you Det x

I wouldn't mind betting that there is a utube video showing how to replace one, yourself......... a good tip on many videos, is

if you have to disconnect anything, take a picture(or several) of it beforehand.....

Thank you Bob I will have a look. It is my second Halogen oven but if I can't replace the bulb I will not have another one.

Paula,

You don't actually say if it is a heating bulb, or an illuminating one............

but any way google the make model and the problem and you might find an answer on the net...........

Bob

Bob I can only see one bulb :-S

Paula, some hobs use Halogen Tubes to provide the heat to cook with.

there MAY be a bulb in the oven purely for illuminating the cavity....but also using normal heating elements......

Thank you Bob. I will get OH to have a look when he comes home. :-D :-D

Hi Paula, mine blew too, not been able to find a replacement either not for any make in fact!!! Will certainly not be buying another one.

I will ask my son if he knows of how to obtain replacement lamps............if you can let me know the make and model, etc.....
Pm if you wish......

The lamp in my microwave blew, a while back, and I searched online for a replacement......found that the lamp base was specially modified for this particular microwave.......and got one from an un expected source......

Captain P ~ why wouldn't you get another one?

I wish I'd bought one years ago. I rarely use the "big" oven now.

If you google "Halogen Oven bulb replacemnts" several hits show-are you saying none of them are true ?

I was thinking of getting one of these ovens,will wait and see what happens now ! :-S

No problem with emoticons ....yet :-)

We took the halogen oven to a repair shop yesterday. The bulb was corroded and part of the casing was going rusty apparently this is a common problem with this particular make The man said bulbs only last a couple of years, this was true in my case. First one was £89 second one £59. Shop said it would cost £20 plus to repair. This is the second oven, same brand I have had. I have just looked on the internet and not good reviews. I I will definitely buy another one, but am looking at a different brand.


Elizabeth: I would recommend one my only negative point would be the glass bowl is very heavy and when it has water in it is dIfficult for me to lift. I will pm you with the brand to avoid ( and also with the one I am looking at at the moment)

Bobantain Thank you so much for your help.

Paula

I would be interested to hear your opinion re the ovens in due course

Elizabeth :-)

MEAT AND ROAST POTATOES COOKED IN A HALOGEN MMMMMMM

Dizzi it's worth buying one just for that <3 <3 <3

Have to agree with Dizzi.


Also easy cleaning afterwards.
