Introduction

This guide will give step by step instructions on how to replace the light bulb in an oven, specifically for the GE TrueTemp, however these steps can be used for various other models. This repair only requires a new light bulb and a dry cloth or gloves to protect the bulb from coming into contact with anything that could damage it, including natural oils on the hand. This repair should be fairly quick to complete, as it should take no more than 3-5 minutes. Note that other oven models may have slight variations in the location of the light bulb.
