Changing bulb on Iced Diamond Fridge

[originalang]

Trying to replace the bulb on my Hotpoint Iced Diamond fridge, how on earth do I get the wire cage off etc ? Have had the fridge years and can't find the manual. Can anyone help please ?

If you have the model number you will almost certainly be able to get the Manual On Line

Thank you Graham -W, couldnt find my model's manual, donkey's years old ha! but other models seem to have same set up. It seems I need a pozi head screwdriver and a knack for yoga positions given the inaccessibility of the screw, should be fun. Thanks so much

With anything like this, consider getting a look at the task using a hand or shaving mirror, which is what I have just done. In fact, though, you can get your head in and look, in this instance, if you take the top shelf out. The cage, you will find, is held in place by a small loop in the wire at the bottom of the cage passing under a small Phillips screw. If you loosen this (or take it out completely), the cage can be slipped sideways (or falls off) and lifted out. The bulb is a 250v 15watt screw-in, but I have just replaced mine with a 250v 7.5 watt screw-in night-light spare which I had lying around. Small candle shape rather than a mushroom but works fine!
