Can you help with how to change bulbs

[Craig mcroberts]

I am repairing the air switch to the black water tank and only one of the three bulbs are glowing. I have not been able to remove the red covers to replace the bulbs. Can you help.

Mine have a metal ring that holds the cover on.

I’m not sure if your system is the same as mine. However on mine I unscrew the red lens and expose the lightbulb. You push and twist the bulb to the left I believe and it will come straight out.

True, they screw in but get boogered up. If you break one Sam’s has them. Ask me how I know.

They are extremely easy to cross thread. Then they are jammed . Good that Sam’s has them .

I actually used one of those rubber jar opener discs from the grocery store to ensure a good grip and very carefully loosened mine... Cleaned the threads and socket with Qtips and electrical contact cleaner and replaced the bulbs.
