Bulb replacement removed bulb but only glass part came out, how to get the rest out and put in new bulb

With power disconnected, use appropriate-size pliers to crush the remains and rotate CCW to extract. After removal, check the socket to be sure it is not damaged or rusted so as to prevent installation of a replacement lamp.

To change the bulb in the Pfaff Tiptronic 2030, you need the bulb remover that was in the original accessory package. Push the bulb remover up into the sewing machine (at the bulb) as far as it will go. Rotate the tool (and the bulb) one-half rotation counter-clockwise. Bring the tool and the bulb down and remove the bulb from the remover tool. To put the new bulb back in, put it into the diagonal holder until the pins engage. Push the bulb up into the lamp holder of sewing machine as far as it will go. Rotate the bulb one-half rotation clockwise. Remove the bulb changer tool. The bulb should remain in the sewing machine. This, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bulb-remover-412570101.aspx , may be the correct replacement for the tool.

Pfaff has many of their sewing machine manuals on their machine support page. The Tiptronic 2030 support is here: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Support/272 . The current link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Tiptronic_2030_2040-manual-EN.pdf?ext=.pdf . See page 139 (132 of the PDF) for the directions to change the bulb.

I hope this helps.

There are broken lightbulb removal tools but the ones I found are pretty much for regular ceiling lightbulbs and probably wouldn't work on a small sewing machine bulb. There's a tool shown here but I don't know where you would find it.

Be sure to unplug your machine first!!!

You might try using a very long needlenose plier. Stick the needlenose up inside the bulb, then open the pliers until the outside of the nose is tight against the bulb socket and try twisting. If it doesn't grip enough, you might try putting something like a rubber finger over the nose tip. (If there is no broken glass left, you may even be able to put a rubber finger on a fat pencil or even your finger up there and twist.)

Something else that may work is using a fat school eraser, trimming it down to fit in the broken socket.

I would even consider putting super glue on a fat pencil eraser end, sticking it up there and letting it adhere, then giving it a twist.

Good luck!

How to Remove Broken Light Bulb

6 Ways to Remove Broken Light Bulb from Socket (about the 4 min mark--this guy talks...a lot!)

If you have some time on your hands, you can wet an old kitchen sponge--the one that gets hard after it dries out. Squeeze the water out as much as possible, then roll the sponge tightly and stick it into the broken light bulb. Let it set until the sponge dries and gets hard. Then you should be able to use the sponge to remove the base.


Remove Broken Light Bulbs Without Getting Cut or Shocked Using Water Bottle

• Power off - unplug
  • Allow bulb to cool a few minutes
• Left side of machine
• With small screw driver, carefully Pry off/Remove the cap and the screw. Remove the face plate.
  Keep the 3 parts to replace = Cap, Screw, Face plate
  Push and turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove the bulb.
  Push and turn the bulb clockwise to reinsert new Light bulb
  

Check the bulb model number old versus new and make sure you have the same number bulb. The bulb number should be on the base of the bulb somewhere. If the bulb has tabs sticking out of the base, check to see that they are placed such that both tabs are on the same plane on the bulb base. Some bulbs have offset tabs that only go in one way to the socket. Try rotating the bulb 180 degrees and insert it again to the socket before trying to rotate it. Check your manual for bulb replacement procedure. Make sure also that you didn't rotate the glass bulb out of its base when you pulled the old one out, leaving the old base still stuck in the bulb socket. If this is the case, unplug the machine and use needle-nose pliers to remove the old bulb base before trying to replace the bulb.

there should be tool in your accessory kit for removing and installing the bulb. If you don't have it , Take the machine to an authorized Viking dealer and have them put a new bulb in. They may also sell you a replacement bulb installation and removal tool.

Make sure power is turned off. Get a pair of pointy nose pliers (may need to try a couple of sizes to get correct one). Use these to get hold of the metal light base and remove. Will probably need to turn base to release.

Page 110 of the manual, in the Care of your Designer 1 section, gives details on how to do this. Basically you need the special tool that came with the machine. One end (marked Out) is used to remove the bulb, and the other end (marked In) is used to put the new one in. You may need to moisten the Out end a little to aid suction when removing the old bulb. It can be tricky getting the bulb out, but it will come out eventually. Lay the machine down on its side on a towel to give you a better view. You should replace both bulbs while you are at it - if one is broken, neither will work. Bulbs are available cheaply from auto spare parts shops.
If you don't have the special bulb removing tool (like a light grey rubbery barbel, but the "bells" are hollow egg-cup shaped) I am fairly sure you could get one for very little cost from eBay or similar.

when one faulty, both do not work. replace faulty one & both will then work.
