Can not find out how to get cover off of the light bulb

yes to both, and I believe to remove the light bulb cover you gently lift up and out to gain access to the bulb.

Can be behind a plastic cover held in place by philips head screw or screws. The plastic cover can have side clips that need to be squeezed in gently to allow them to release from a slot in the ridge. Once the cover is removed, the bulb should be a screw type. Remove and then buy a replacement - the edison screw size and wattage are the most important thing to fit. Bulb shape to suit size behind the cover. Buy at WW or Coles otherwise spare parts on possibly ebay if you can be precise on model etc.

Caution... Before replace the light bulb in your refrigerator, please unplug it. Thank you.

I don't know who manufactured your refrigerator or where the placement of the light is. If it has a plastic cover over and there is no visibly sign of a screw, clip then the cover snaps on, or it is hinged on with a snap. Squeeze it very gently and pull on one side a time. Remember squeeze gently.

Once the cover is off, unplug your refrigerators. Installed the new light bulb then plug in your refrigerators. stewbison

Use a butter knife and insert it in the slot between the cover and white plastic holder and pull the knife lightly twords you.
Do this on both sides and the cover should come out.

Use 40W bulbs for replacement.

It snaps in place by lifting the plastic cover. Then when you replace push it in then down. It has two tabs one on each end.

just like replacing a house light bulb. if it has a plastic cover, remove first the plastic cover and unscrew the old bulb and replaced it with a new one. unplugged it first before doing the bulb replacement. for safety...
