   Oven cleaner & Sylvania 30 Watt 120VAC b

   Tried to clean oven that has never been cleaned as far as I can tell.   
      
   Mostly I cleaned the glass with ammonia & tried to replace the dead bulb.   
     Words on the bulb are 30 Watt Sylvania 130VAC Appliance Bulb   
      
   Removed the bulb glass screw-in cover and cleaned by dunking in ammonia   
   (how does ammonia clean off baked on black encased cooked grease anyway?).   
      
   Anyway, the appliance bulb broke away from the metal (so I have to remove   
   the thin metal threads somehow) - are built-in ovens hard wired or plugs?   
      
   Assuming I get the metal from the bulb out of the socket deep in the back   
   of the oven without being electrocuted - do they make LED bulbs for these   
   things yet? Or do I need to replace the bulb with another incandescent?   
      
   And how exactly does the chemistry (Frank?) of the ammonia work?
