    In this video, I show you two things to check that are the most common problems. The cord has a break, or the contacts are dirty. Beyond that, if yours is still not working and nothing is obviously the problem, I would just toss the toaster because it's not worth the time it would take to fix. But anyone can replace a plug or sand a contact. Best of luck with your repair!

    NIce video lad. Sometimes we can't win every fight in life, sadly I lose mine. BUt your video sure gave me power to go down with a good fight. Toaster is dead but memories will live on.

    Thanks for saving me $20 cause I just about to throw my toaster out to buy a new one. It wasn't touching the contacts and I fixed it. Kudos to you.

    This was useful and helped me to successfully repair our toaster. However, once the toaster is open, I strongly recommend to clean the electromagnet surface and its metal counterpart as well. In our toaster, there were some greasy bread remains on it which certainly at least weakened the magnetic force. I cleaned it with a bit of isopropyl alcohol. I don't know which of these was the problem after all, just recommend to do both.

      Excellent recommendation! In my case, it was a dirty magnet and not the contacts that was the issue.

      I have a question, rn I’m really young and I don’t know how a toaster operates, I recently just used an toaster and I need help with getting some answers and I’m too scared to tell my parents that the toaster turned off all the power, not all, I am able to use wifi but charging my device is a problem. Does anyone know what happen ? Because when I used the toaster, suddenly the toaster turned off some the power, I searched on google just to find answers of cleaning the toaster or either that the short circuit is tripping (I don’t know what it means), and it could be life threatening to us. I’ve been slightly scared by this problem and I’ve tried unplugging the toaster to see if the electricity will come back, but it won’t. Does anyone know what’s going on?

    • @metins4324
      @metins4324 7 місяців тому

      ⁠@@mak1-zen1nYour toaster obviously triggered the fuse to turn off. Unplugging the toaster was good, do not plug it in again. If you know where the fuses are, you can now turn it on again, but leave the toaster unplugged.

    This video was so helpful. Thanks so much. I never would have though the lever not staying down had anything to do with electricity. You explained the inner workings so clearly, and mine is working again.

    Well done - I had to laugh out loud when I realized mine was also magnatized and not a latch... kept looking for the obvious on a $40 toaster... a latch of some kind. Saw something like a magnet but tossed that idea aside.. turns out.. you saved me $40 and more importantly one less piece of plastic in the trash.

  • @deskset7436
    @deskset7436 4 роки тому +1

    Just wanted to thank you - we couldn't get the handle off the toaster to allow us to take off the case. Because you mentioned a screw, we found the screw, took off the handle, took off the case and found the small deep crumbs that were preventing the electricity from connecting. Our toaster (different model) lives to toast another day, thanks to you.

    Also don't forget to check the supply to the socket. I just took my toaster apart, did as the video said, only to find it had tripped the earth leakage breaker. Reset the breaker and the toaster works. Shall monitor, if it does it again it's in the bin. Thanks for the vid.

    My Monky-Ward toaster died and went on Consumer Reports for a new one. Unfortunately, none of the reviews were positive from broke after two years to uneven heating. So I opened mine up, did some cleaning, adjusted the "color dial" and it came back to life. Gotta be a 40 yr old toaster, ya know, the days before they started putting capacitors in them.

  • @joradcliffe565
    @joradcliffe565 7 років тому

    The rods that the handle slides down got worn and stiff on mine resulting in requiring more pressure needed to lower the bread and that resulted in the handle strut bending and catching on the circuit board before reaching the bottom. Natural tendency was to press even harder which only made the problem worse. Trimming the strut with tin snips helped but replacing handle strut with a better design would have been better. By the time that became apparent the machine was scrap from so much dismantling but will be better prepared next time.

    When I push down on the lever it pushes two metal tabs out to make contact with the outer tabs that are just barely separated when the lever is released, is this just a switch or does it have anything to do with the amount of time the heat is on? I'm having trouble adjusting the gap.

    New viewers need to understand the cord issues shown only test with the plug in the wall socket. The toast carrier will NOT lock down with no power going through the device. Wiggling the cord at the plug or toaster does nothing if the plug isn't in a hot wall socket.

    The contact metal generate spark when pulled down. The toaster wires turn red which means electricity is running. however, the toaster does not stay down, indicating electromagnet is not generated. what could be the cause of spark n no magnet hold?

      +THUNDERHORSE49 mmc There is a trick to making any kind of driver. You melt the end of a Bic pen with a lighter just enough that the plastic is soft and then press it on the head of the screw you want to remove. Then when it cools it is the shape of the screw head. I do that when I dont have the bit I need. You can get a set of bits at home depot.
