    Worked 100% I didnt even have to open my toaster, was looking to buy new one , used long nose plies and thin screw driver like the method shown, the brocken resistive wire was close to the top of the toaster so it was easy....I'm eating toast will typing this message. Good video bro, keep it up... subscribed

    For those not so electrically minded, it looks regular and normal to see a toaster heating up... just make sure you don't touch those wires because a) they're hot but b) small detail.. they can kill you. :) Be SUPER careful running a toaster while it's disassembled. Can be bloody dangerous. Cheers.

    Using the piece of broken element/wire I re-routed it so that it made contact with (the down stream) formerly disconnected/(non-continuity) element, tested it - (peanut butter sandwich) - its working - am a little worried that I might have created a hotspot where the element/wire is effectively doubled in thickness. If I burn down the house I'll come back with an update. Holding thumbs ( Means - Fingers Crossed- )

    I want the exact opposite! I have a spare toaster and I want to toast a split bagel or English muffin on ONE side only. So from your video it looks as simple as cutting one of the element wires to break the circuit. And that could probably be achieved through the toaster slot using longnose pliers/cutters without dismantling the toaster!

    CAUTION : Agree,
    amateurs messing with 💥 toasters could cause house fire risk. 😿
    Risky appliances best disposed of for the sake of £10 for new one at Argos 🥰

    THANK U - just bought a beautiful new toaster but element is broken.
    Demo + Viewers comments helped me:
    1. throw it away IMMEDIATELY for our SAFETY;
    2. Not worth fixing by a professional seeing how risky they look dismantled;
    3. To keep unplugged if not in use. 🔥🚒👨‍🚒This informative video was worth its weight in gold 👍

    Never repair a broken element by splicing. This is a source of heat and any unauthorised repairs can lead to fires and accidents
    Get an engineer to fit a new genuine element spare part. If you cannot then buy a new toaster. It is not expensive and safer

    'Fraid that fix will last about 2 slices. It is possible to reconnect broken elements but at a skill level beyond the need to watch vids about the techniques. The average person wouldn't be able to get the things apart and it's a swear-fest even for skilled fixers. Devil spawn devices. But I do encourage people to repair rather than landfill, give it a try by all means.

    @demonkey123 4 роки тому +15

    You have reduced the resistance of the wire. The element will now be hotter and present a fire risk. Modification rather than replacement of components with electrical goods is a bad a idea for a number of reasons. Invalidate warranty, invalidate property insurance, potential fire risk. This should NEVER be attempted by somebody who does not understand exactly what they are doing and the possible implications. Repairs should only be carried out by competent persons using approved parts.

    With the greatest of respect, this is possibly the worst kind of "how to" video to put on UA-cam for the simple reason that unless you know exactly what you are doing you should never disassemble, repair or modify any mains powered electrical device, especially one that utilises exposed conductors. And if you do know what you're doing you're not gonna do what you have done there.
