The new one I bought→ amzn.to/2dMTFmu
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!

Thanks! Solved mu problem. Note that when you first plug it you have to hold it down for a bit to give time for the magnet to magnetize.

@Snout007 8 лет назад

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.

@monica11760 3 года назад

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.

@ashlei315 Месяц назад

Thank you! Thanks to this clip I was able to fix my toaster and you saved me a good 20 bucks! RU-vid DIY FTW again!

@jimkeefover245 Год назад

Thank you I will take a look and see if this is the problem. And by the way, thank you for getting right to the point not like most other sights talk about everything but the problem.

@JerryNordstrom 6 лет назад

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.

@metins4324 4 года назад

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.

@carolinebarbeau2157 2 года назад

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 8 месяцев назад

⁠@@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.

@sansui77 28 дней назад

@@metins4324that’s right. Unplug the toaster and go search for the fuse box and turn the switch to the fuse back on. That should bring all your other electrical appliances back on. Next, take the faulty toaster to the rubbish tip and get yourself a new toaster. Toasters are extremely cheap these days. Go get yourself one for the family home.

A kniferack fell on my toaster yesterday and somehow broke it. Haven't even had time to open it yet but this video gave a pretty good idea which parts have propable shifted around and caused a faulty connection.

@deskset7436 4 года назад

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.

@mohageli358 3 года назад

Thanks for the Info . my problem the unit heats up while pressing the nob it seemed the magnet it is not activated. Any suggestion? Thanks

@carolinebarbeau2157 2 года назад

You need to clean the magnet and the contacts below. I used an emery board and that did the trick for me, someone else used rubbing alcohol.

@joradcliffe565 7 лет назад

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.

@rosea164 5 лет назад

Hi AdamDIY - great informative not-a-lot-of-crap vid - thank you - my biggest problem is how to find the right tool to unscrew the little (mo_t_er f__king little a--hole screws) tool that unscrews the back/bottom from the unit so I can figure out how to fix it to stay down - I've sprayed them with wd40 3 x's now & got the two off near the cord but it seems like different screws take different size OCTAGONAL toolbits - how did you get the back/bottom off, PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE????? oh, please somebody respond - I'm going nutz !!! thanks, thunderhorse_49MMC

@AdamDIY 9 лет назад

+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.

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.

@airheartwoodmiller 7 лет назад

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.

@alkm9203 4 года назад

@billtaylor3499 8 месяцев назад

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?
