Repeatedly blowing lamp – Bosch HME9751 built in combi micro

[stevelup]

Hi

I’ve had the above oven since new (4-5 years I think) and literally twice a year the lamp blows.

I believe the reason for this is that it is located immediately behind the door latch and is subject to vibration whenever the door is shut. The oven which we bought at the same time has two lamps in it and they have never been changed…

The lamp is a completely conventional 300degree 40 watt golfball shaped lamp with an SES/E14 thread.

Can someone recommend a ‘rough service’ type lamp that will be more robust. It’s a pain to swap as you need to partially remove the oven from the kitchen unit every time to change it.

Thanks,

Steve
