Do you need a special bulb for a self-cleaning oven? I lost the manual? Can I use a regular Appliance bulb in

Can I use a regular Appliance bulb in a self cleaning oven? When I looked inside the oven, the bulb was covered by a thick looking glass. Do you think I have to replace the whole glass bulb, cover & unit? I don’t want to spend too much so I don’t want to call a appliance service person, I’ll live with a dark oven if I have to replace a unit, I’d love to just be able to replace a bulb. I wonder if because of the extreme heat a reg appliance bulb will burst…. do you know?

Some appliance bulbs yes, just look at the package it should tell you whether you can use it in an oven or not. The cheep ones are usually not good for that.

Can anyone tell me where I can find out the best kitchen appliance brands and product reviews (but not Choice)

    i think most ovens are appliance c bulbs you can find them anywhere.

    look on the bulb
    regular bulbs can with stand so much heat
    an oven gets hotter than your ave. buld unless you are using high pressure soidum or such as i.e. street lamps
