One of my refrigerator light bulbs broke. The threaded part is still in the socket. I read to use a potato to get this out. Do I just jam the potato in the socket? Carve it to make it fit? Any other advice or hints on how to get this darn thing out of there? My midnight raids just aren't the same. Oh, I do know to unplug the fridge before trying to get the part out of the socket.
Thanks
I usually just use pliers. Unplug the refrigerator before you do this.
I would think a potato is to soft.
I have used small needle nosed pliers and a lot of time. There are commercially available socket removers. That might be the way to go.
Tried it and it works. Raw potato, not French Fries.
It works. Start by turning the frig off, then just jam it on there, no cutting or pealing needed.
Sometimes just a dry rag stuffed in will be enough to snag on an edge
