Drum Lamp
You might be able to change the bulb
without removing the housing unless
the bulb or socket is damaged.
1.
Remove the screw holding the
cover inside the dryer.
2.
Slide the cover away.
3.
Unscrew the bulb and replace it
with an exact replacement part.
The bulb holder (socket) is pushed into
the cage from the inside. The locking
tabs hold it into place. The cage is also
pressed into place from inside the
dryer.
Removing the cage may be a little bit
more difficult. You can remove the top
cover and reach in beside the cage
with a screwdriver to release the tabs.
Then pull the cage out in whichever
direction it is easier. You’ll probably
have to remove the cage to get the
socket out because of the holding
tabs. (See photo, below.)
If the bulb has broken off in the socket,
you can probably remove the remains
with a small plier. Sometimes this can
be done without removing the socket,
but be careful to avoid getting glass
fragments into the dryer.
The tabs on the lamp holder (socket)
hold it in the cage. You’ll have to press
both of them and push the lamp holder
into the cage.
