After many years, the light in our oven stopped lighting. After using a flashlight for a week or so, I bought a pack of two bulbs. I had to be careful not to put my fingers into the live socket, but I finally got the bulb in. Still not lighting. I tried the other bulb, with the same result. Apparently, there is another problem. I didn't see a button on the doorframe, so I'll have to investigate.

Reminds me of the popular(?) joke. How many photographers does it take to change a lightbulb? Now's your chance to come up with a funny answer.

A better question would be, How many UHH members does it take to change a lightbulb.

But a photographer would know to use Lightroom.....it would lighten the corners of your oven and adjust the grease colour to match the interior.

Both lists very apt! Could easily believe that all suppliers in Boston and Phoenix will be taking an early Christmas break! Very good, so apposite!

1 smart ass know it all who will tell you if you don't know how to change the light bulb in the stove, then you should not own that stove.

Definitely check the button on the door frame to make sure it doesn't stick and check your breaker too (could be partially off).

As far as how many it takes?......... well....... just one to hold the bulb while the rest of the world revolves around him.
Now the argument starts about just who that could be..........
