It did not solve the problem. kmax

My Maytag Convection Oven is new. I can't remove the lens cover to replace the oven light bulb. My manual says to turn the lens counterclockwise. It won't unscrew.
I have tried spraying around the lens with water and degreaser. I have warmed the oven. I even pulled out the stove and got in the back of the light assembly. No luck. I have called my dealer. In the meantime,
using an oil filter wrench sounds like a good idea. kmax

Thanks to Fstella. I ended up going to Autozone, paid $4.99 for the same oil filter wrench, and it did the job for me too, (and also scratched my finger in doing so. So wearing a pair of gloves would be highly recommended when operating the wrench). So, in the end, thanks to Fstella's tip, a $4.99 wrench solved the stubborn oven light cover problem. Shame on the engineer who designed such a cover.

The mere fact of knowing that it unscrews, was all that I needed. I wore rubber gloves so that I would have a grip and that worked well for me. Come on Maytag, the very least you can do is have an up-to-date owner's manual...

We tried everything to try and remove the oven light cover and finally took the advice of one reader and used the oil wrench and was finally able to remove the cover. It was hard and this is ridiculous !! The manual said to unscrew the cover, note!! there are no threads in the receptacle !! I think Maytag wants you to call a repair man to replace an oven light?? I will not buy another Maytag appliance!! We bought a stove top, wall oven, dishwasher, side refrigerator and an Amana microwave/convection oven all from a Maytag dealer, the ice maker went out after less than a year in the side by side, the racks in the dishwasher rusted, the Amana convection oven quit working and now unbelievable trouble just trying to get out an oven light bulb. Crazy !!!
