If one of the bulbs ceased to burn in the ceiling lamp, and after the lamp was replaced, the light did not appear, one of the reasons for the breakdown could be the failure of the cartridge. Most often in this element, contacts are broken off or the case itself breaks, which can not be repaired. Next, we will tell you how to change the cartridge in the chandelier with your own hands, providing instruction in pictures and visual video lessons.
So, in order to correctly replace the failed element, you must perform the following actions:
- Disable the light on the shield. It is strictly forbidden to perform live replacement!
- Remove the chandelier from the ceiling. You can, of course, change the product without removing the lamp, but it will be much more difficult. All you need to do is to disconnect the connection of the conductors( usually twisting or terminal blocks, as in the photo) and remove the chandelier from the hook or bar.
- Disassemble the lighting fixture by removing the glass cover and removing all the light bulbs( the usual one is e27 or e14 - minion) so that they do not break during the repair process.
- Unscrew the visible part of the electric cartridge and disconnect the wires. In some models, the pins are on the bottom. In this case, it will be necessary to unscrew the clamping screws.
- Remove the ceramic base of the product.
- Replace the lamp holder by connecting the phase to the center contact of the socket and zero to the remaining free contact. You can determine the wires by colors by reading the color coding of the wires.
- Assemble the chandelier in reverse order.
