    I had to write a comment to say thank you! I had just received word back from SMEG that my toaster was out of warranty (got it in 2018) and that they didn't have anyone to even take a look at it. So I decided to search and see if anyone else was having this latching issue. I followed your directions and boom, my toaster is fine. There was so much debris in there from the bread over the years, I had NO idea!!!! Thank you for posting this solve! You saved my $250 toaster! <3

    THANK YOU! you saved my Smeg. I couldn't get the little ball to detach from the lever but was able to open it up enough to clean it and - voila! So cool

    Glad I found this video and thanks for sharing it. They’re have a summer sale so I just ordered a Redwood for $699. I’m shorter with a short inseam, right around your size, and went with the XS but started worrying it might be too short from seat to cockpit. This video put me a little at ease with size selection.

    Thank you for your positivity. I've bought half a dozen direct to consumer bikes and only once did I have any issues like what you are talking about. There are many sub-one thousand gravel bikes in the market today. It is important to read the reviews keeping in mind the importance of customer service beyond the sale. Good luck with your bike.

    I bought the redwood about 2 years ago. Talked to the guy there, and he recommended a large for me. I am 5'10" with a 30" inseam and about 240 pounds. In retrospect, I wished I had gotten a medium. Other than that, it is a rowdy GB.

    I ended up throwing out my toaster. It smelled awful when I pulled down the lever to make toast, and I thought there must be a huge chunk of old burnt toast inside so I unplugged it to dislodge the bit of toast and discovered it wasn’t toast at all, but a small plastic hook which had been stuck to the wall near the toaster and it must have fallen in and got welded /melted onto the wire elements. It wouldn’t come off and every time I tried I realised the wires were all breaking up, so wouldn’t have been safe to use anymore. The moral is-keep the toaster away from anything that could fall into it and melt!

    I have a baby and a toddler so don’t have time to go through this now. As a last resort, I took it into the compost bin and shook out all the crumbs brought it back in and now it’s working. So just give it a try if you don’t have time to do the permanent fix!

    I saw 3 videos and r first I thought your video wouldn't work, but I was wrong. Your simple yet straightforward approach was the best. The crumbs affect the contact with the button sensor like you said. I used an inflator for blowing air and took away all the crumbs. Toaster works like new again. Thank you so much, you're a blessing!

  • @TysonKamikawa
    @TysonKamikawa 4 місяці тому

    Great video. Once I saw that the problem was likely crumbs in the catch mechanism, I just skipped taking it apart and just flipped the whole thing over, hit it a couple of times and shook out all the crumbs. Bam; fixed it.

    Fortunately the assembly of my Redwood went perfectly. No issues other than having to adjust the front brake pads, they were rubbing on one side of the disc. Easy fix. Be sure an watch the assembly video and it will go smoothly. ua-cam.com/video/xcivWk1a7oE/v-deo.html

    Thank you!!!! As I was working with my toaster and it then like magic worked!!!!! I thought it was just like everything else, when it doesn’t work, unplug it, wait, plug it back in nd presto it reboots! So you can imagine as I got it all back together, screwed in all those screws… cleaned it outside, plugged it in and darn if the stupid thing didn’t work again. 🙁 So I am about to un-screw 12 screws, unplug the mother board, plug it back in, re-screw all those little screws. If it works I will know that you are a genius, if it doesn’t work then it’s just my bleepity bleep toaster and you are still a genius! 😁 Thank you for the video in all cases. 💕

    Thank you for the very useful fix. I have the same issue with Smeg toaster. After removing the case, I followed all the steps from brushing to cleaning all around the toaster body and the lever contacts then it worked while it was out of its case, but it didn't work when I put the case back on, I tried three times, the lever still does not engage when the case is on. Any idea what could be the problem. Thank you again.

Also, stubborn green gound wire can be removed carefully with a needle-nose pliers grabbing back of connector. Thanks Again

    It's clear where Poseidon saves money is by not having the bike assembled as much as most bikes you get out of the box. Their bikes are likely packaged overseas and they just ship you the bike without ever opening the box. I ordered a Norton and it was way more disassembled than any other bike I have ever gotten for my UA-cam channel or otherwise. Thankfully I have a full shop in my basement and a lot of bike shop and industry experience. But I would not suggest someone who isn't a current or former bike mechanic assemble one of these. So you might save money ordering consumer direct, but you certainly will have to pay more to get the bike properly together and safely working, which is extremely important. Poseidon isn't on my list for consumer-direct bikes. You can have a much better experience using State or Canyon, to be honest. The Norton assembly and reviews are on my channel if you are interested in more info.

      Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Maybe my next bike will be one of the brands you’ve suggested. Since this video, my garage has been transformed into a bike shop and I’ve learned a lot about working on bikes. I’m by no means an expert but I’ve come along way since I posted this video. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
