Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation

DIY "How to" Hotpoint Brand Oven Light Bulb Installation Tutorial Instructional Demonstration. If you know how to do this then its very easy, but for those of us who don't, well...it can take a minute or two to figure out. If you watch this video, I will show you exactly how to replace the bulb in your Hotpoint Brand Oven. Many people just leave the light bulb in the burned out state for the life of the oven. I couldn't imagine not being able to see what's cooking or what it's looking like.

Many people, like myself are procrastinators. "Well the oven light is out" is what you may tell yourself. It's tough to get in there and get after it as it's one of those things that you can make do without. That being said, it's much nicer to have a working oven light than not. So if you can find the gumption to change out the light bulb, pop open the oven door and get after it. The first thing you want to do is take the securing wire and push or pull it off to the side. This is your first access point to getting this done. Be careful not to drop the glass that goes over it as you do. You can do this all with one hand no problem. So what you want to do is move the wire over while keeping some pressure on the glass and once the wire is pushed over, than sort of captivate and capture the glass. This will allow you to gain access to the light bulb. You will need a headlamp or flashlight for this job. Now take the existing light bulb and unscrew it. Now take your new one and screw it in.

Anyway, hope this little quick video helps you out. Good luck!

How to: Milwakee Sawzall Blade Change out for Dummies

A reciprocating saw is a wonderful tool and I've used them for thousands of handyman DIY construction and repair tasks over the years. This is a must-have for the power tool collection. Even though to many, it may be blatantly obvious how to change out a blade, it may not be to others or beginners. The first thing, like any other power tool blade or wheel change out operation, unplug the damn thing. I've seen a lot of injuries and almost got a few myself for being stupid or careless and not taking the simple step of unplugging the tool before changing out the blade, wheel, or bit. Once unplugged, you'll need an Allen wrench that fits the Allen head set screw in the reciprocating head. Typically these come with one but many of us lose these things. Loosen the set screw and the blade will come out. Many new models of reciprocating saws have quick disconnect style fittings on them so no wrench may be necessary depending on the model you have. Grab your fresh blade and place it back into the same position and insert it into the slot. Then tighten the Allen head set screw. You are now good to go.
