Why does this bulb burn out so quickly. This is the third bulb i've installed and each one has lasted just over a month.
Hi Louis,
Thank you for your question. If the bulb is burning out too soon, the issue may be the socket or the wiring connected to it and you will need to check the parts to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Can’t unlock gas oven door
Hello and thank you for writing.
We suggest to try a hard reset:
Go to your breaker box and shut the breakers for your unit off, wait 5 minutes and then turn the breaker to on again. That should hopefully clear this problem.
If the door does not unlatch and you do not have food in the oven, set the oven up to clean for 1-2 hours. Wait approximately 30 minutes for the oven to cool and try to unlock the door.
We hope this information helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
