Replacing an Electric Range Hood Bulb doesn’t have to be daunting. With the right tools and a few easy steps, it can be done in a snap.
Before you start, make sure the power to the hood is off and the bulb is cool. Next, locate the screws at the back of the hood and unscrew them to remove the bulb guard. Carefully remove the old bulb. Usually, a twist is all it takes to removal it.
Once the old bulb is removed, use a paper towel to clean the socket. This helps remove any debris from the previous bulb. Be sure to be gentle and light to avoid stripping the socket.
Then, carefully insert the new light bulb and secure it by twisting until it is locked in place. You may need to use a pair of rubber gloves for added grip. Finally, re-attach the bulb guard. Make sure to screw it in securely for continued safety and performance of your range hood.
