Expensive PORSCHE Toasters! Can I FIX Them?
ฝัง

- Here we have another video in the new mini series of attempted fixes on broken unusual branded items. So after my Lamborghini Phone video I decided to buy 3 Broken PORSCHE toasters. I got all of them from eBay from different sellers. Will they get a chance to toast again? Let's find out.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I wonder what it says about me, when the main event on this friday evening is watching Porche-designed toasters getting repaired. Another great video, thanks.
We are 780000
It says your comfortable.
It says you're probably a cool customer who gets into some buggery
It's clear people didn't take their toasters in to the dealer for the scheduled maintenance based on the manual.
Never thought I'd see the day where a Toaster has a Timing Belt.
Too much car influence!
Lucky you don't need to adjust the valve gap.
Your obviously not a toast conisseur! Toast timing is critical to the browning perfection of your bread ! 😉 🍞
Gotta plug in the OBD to adjust the timing on the 2023 toaster. Progress!
Does a broken toaster make you lack-toast intolerant?😂Really interesting to see how these things work... great job, Vince!
🤣 Vince may need to be more careful with flammables, this video is toast.
😂 Hahaha, it crust a matter of time before you run out of puns Steve!
@@Mymatevince who Steve
@@theofficialmozart1 Having received 105❤️ so far, I guess it's safe to say that Vince knows whom he's replying to.
@@Mymatevince you mean buns! 😂
I had a look at my partners toaster recently for the same problem, not staying down. Only a run of the mill machine. Similarly it was held down with an electromagnet, and the connections to the coil were dry jointed and cracked. Probably due to the repeated impact. Quick resolder, all fixed, and saved from landfill
I've noticed if I eat toast in my Porsche, if crumbs fall in near the shifter, it's hard to get the car into first gear. Other than that, it's all good mate! Thanks Vince for a great video! Cheers!
Make sure you get your Porsche serviced at an authorised Porsche service centre, otherwise your toast (and crumbs) may never be the same...
you have to love Vince's technical speak, with a solenoidy magnet type thing
I volunteer at a Repair Cafe where one of these was brought in with the complaint it had gone "bang" and kept blowing fuses. It failed PAT on insulation.
This video was invaluable in working out how it came apart.
When the piece with power button was removed I found burns on 2 adjacent contacts on it which push into the main body of the toaster. Between them was what looked like a fried insect - possibly a yellow mealworm or yellow centipede.
Can I be the first person to raise a toast to the completion of this video & fixes of 2/3 units? Well done @Vince 🥂
The iron filings could have possibly come from the toast crumbs if the bread used in it was fortified.
Great video, I love that you are doing everyday items and the odd repair here and there
Loving these videos about weird branded items. Always a treat from Vince ✨️
I fixed the ‘doesn’t stay down’ issue on every toaster I have ever owned - the electromagnet gets dirt on it - then it sparks and gets even more gunk on it. So I pull out the sandpaper. If you push down and it buzzes instead of locking down you have a dirty solenoid and contact
I haven’t watched this yet, but will do. But just wanted to say, I’ve found your channel really inspiring, I don’t know much much electronic knowledge you have, I’m guessing it’s improved though. But I like how you take a calm approach to think logically and narrow down problem areas. I did electronic servicing at night college for five years when I was hoping to become a service technician for a car audio manufacturer I worked for. And eventually I got the job, but I didn’t even know how to solder. But most of the faults with these car stereos was due to dry joints so I started off just doing that. And then later on, you’d find the same models would have same faulty components, so although Od know what’s gone faulty, I’d still try and check circuits, to get familiar with what section would be faulty and then compare voltages etc with repaired units. And then later on I’d try diagnose unfamiliar faults on basic models and just slowly improved and managed to solve a common fault that all the other engineers had, and no one really found out exactly what was the fault and so would just put a new micro chip in, but when I was measuring voltages and also the clock pulses, I cleaned some of the solder flux off, and that basically fixed everything. I’m rambling on, but basically you’ve shown that just being confident to try things really does help. And even being over confident. So thanks for giving me more inspiration.
You know me Vince, I love a 'style over substance' Toaster! This was a really enjoyable repair - Once you'd got to the bottom of the issue it was so straightforward - hopefully you'll have saved a few of these from landfill with it being such a simple fix! Keep 'em coming vince - it's great seeing a variety of things being repaired!
Who would have thought toasting can become such a complicated affair?
I'd like to propose a toast to Vince and his awesome toaster fix!
Always a treat to watch your fault find your way through Vince! Love those high end toasters! 😅
Totally love watching your videos. Always loads of variety. Never know what ur going to try to fix next. But I'll raise a toast to this one.
Exactly the content I needed this afternoon. Thanks algorithm.
Interesting content, thanks for doing the video Vince
The coil is an electromagnet used to pull/hold the plunger down, not really sticking to the bottom. Works the same way as an electric solenoid valve like those that control water entering your washing machine or dishwasher. A good clean will definitely help if the magnetic field is relatively weak, which is usually the case with toasters. These are a pretty simple timer mechanism that turns the power on to the coil when you put the toast down, and the timer turns it off. The most common fault is dry joints on the coil, or dirt/grease/crumbs in the switch that activates the coil.
Regarding safety, the Quartz element is a little safer, but it is quite easy to break the quartz glass. Inside the quartz glass, you just have the standard nichrome wire element just as a coil instead of strips. Generally, due to being in the glass, quartz elements are deemed to be more efficient.
It's always great to see things saved from landfill :)
Great video Vince great repair 👍
Nicely worked out, from complicated to simples in a few steps 😜👍
Very interesting, confusing yet easily repairable design. Thanks for sharing this oddity!
I think it's the time that you start learning plastic welding. You would need a solid plastic welding soldering gun and all types of plastic sticks elements and you already have the dremel. You would make wonders.
Even though mine has seen some repairs along the way, I love this toaster. It recently started acting up again and this time the after sales returned it saying they no longer have the spare parts in stock. I was able to fix it without any spare parts thanks to this video. 🙏🏻
The phrase ‘keep it simple, stupid’ comes to mind with these toasters. Great video Vince! Also I always think your saying ‘fart out sounds’ lol!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK VINCE
YOUR THE BEST
Very enjoyable Vince. 👍
We had the Porsche kettle and coffee machine. They were both amazing mind. Fab video as always
The quartz heating element I think are more common in toaster ovens. Regardless, a very unique design and good repair.
Thanks Shawn 👍👍👍
@Ellis The DJ nicrome sounds correct. I believe I read that somewhere before.
@Ellis The DJ Some are, but nowadays more of them use FeCrAl (known by the brand Kanthal).
Krups toasters have employed a quartz heating element for years - I used to sell them back in '02.
Great video vince. Love you're videos
Oooh errr I love a bit of cotton bud action! Get right in there, Vince!
Quite an advanced toaster, I've only ever seen the thin wire element type that is wraped around presumably some type of fibreglass board.
This quartz heating element type initially looks good but I like my bread toasted to the top and this Siemens one only seems to toast the bottom and middle.
I suppose it's also down to personal preference. It does look great though!
In my teens I had a pair of Porche design Puma trainers now, they took me places!
🤣
Great video and a great fix!
Get some proper Anchor spreadable on that toast. Yummy!
Thank you for a great video 🙂
This is Brayden butts from ct
Thank you Brayden 👍👍👍👍
great vid vince you should do a porsche mini series :D
awesome job like always! keep it up! 👏 👍 👌
Great repair. I hope you enjoyed your butterd toast. I'd like to have one too right now😋
Vince love your content love watching one of your videos when I'm bored or just sad you just cheer me up I hope you make content for many years to come love your tech fixing content I hope to start fixing technology too
The LOUDEST mmv's video I ever *heard*, what a nousy one, lol, keep up the good work mate...
Looks like a over complicated pile of junk to me haha still love the video
Back in the early ‘80’s I had a Porsche Design motorcycle helmet in JPS colours. It was a really well designed helmet with air flow management and a visor that flipped up inside the shell.
Ohhh no! The bottle of Isopropyl alcohol is empty 😀 what a nice product, me personally think if i hade one of those fancy coffee makers it would be a nice combo to have it right next to it, anny way brilliant job to make out how it works!
And as always very entertaining!
Luckily as the number one tool in my toolbox I always have a bottle of IPA spare in stock 😂 Apparently they also do a Porsche designed kettle to go with the toaster!!! eBay here I come 😂😂👍
@@Mymatevince There was an earlier model of this toaster aswell, serial number is TT91100, it won a design price in 1999, so I guess that's around the year it was released. Siemens still sells spare parts for it (and the TT911P2 aswell) on their website. Sadly the inner plastic housing for the P2 seems to be out of stock, otherwise you might be able to repair the 3rd toaster aswell. Considering they still sell for over 100 Euros that might even have been worth it.
Amazing Vince. As a Porsche driver myself I never knew you could get a Porsche Toaster lol. If you would consider selling one of those give me a shout. Mick 👍👌🍻
toaster purchased and fixed :) thankyou!
When you are done making toast, do you set the alarm before walking away? "chirp chirp"
Great video 🙂
Great fix and analysis. For the price of a new one of these I would want it to butter the toast for you as well.
My Mate Vince the Porsche engineer. Loved the Viideo.
Verry interested video!!!!
I had a friend who always put toast in the toaster and always moaned it came out burned, so I suggested he put bread in the toaster not toast, now he enjoys perfectly toasted bread rather than toasted toast.
True story, honest.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You almost won with the bread vs toast in relation to a toaster explanation, so props.
Bread coming out of a Porsche toaster makes it the toast of the town.
Interesting product, never heard of Porsche toaster before :)
many drivers get toasted by a porsche. So the ycan start getting toasted before leaving home now. greetings from germany
I love Porsche products. I can't really afford the car I want right now but I have had a few of the Eterna produced 'Porsche Design' watches. I've also had a pen; it was constructed of white gold and carbon fibre. It was on sale from Watches Of Switzerland for £200 (reduced from 400). You should've seen the looks it got when I pulled it out to 'sign on' with it. This was about 15 years ago. Hoping everything runs well with the toasters.
Nice fix, looking forward to seeing the Tesla Heater :)
Is there anything these high end motor companies won’t stick their brand on? 😂 How you come across these things is beyond me lol. A fantastic video as always Vince, here’s to the next one 🍻
As others have commented above, Porsche Design is owned by Porsche but operates independently and does pretty much any kind of industrial design. In this case I'm fairly certain Siemens wanted a fancy toaster and had Porsche Design create it, not the other way round.
Thanks to your video, I just fixed my dormant toaster after some years in the wilderness. It's still not 100% (eg. there's a crack in the plastic casing beneath it's sleak exterior, but it doesn't affect performance) and I'm so glad to have it back in my kitchen! It's a bit of a classic really and a shame to resign it to the bin. Think I'm gonna have to buy some breakers for spare parts....just in case! Thanks!
Great repair video on a crappy product 👍🏻 I would instantly have thrown it hard to the floor. So thumbs up for your patience Vince.
Also, I love/hate when you post these videos, none of the broken ones of any product you fix are ever on ebay :D
Porsche has been in this branding business for almost 20 years. My own first encounter, LaCie Porsche Design external hard drive in 2008. Nice looking...
I was checking out the channel today, thinking I had not seen a Vince vid in a while. Noticed the lambo phone vid had big numbers. Fingers crossed this does well too. 👍
Gentle persuasion 😁
Bought one same fault for £50, would not close the top, would not lock in the down position, just like yours, thanks to you I fix it before actually trying it, did what you did now works perfectly, thank you for your help.
The other ones you have did you fix them by any chance and yes the toaster does rattle lol. let me know about the other ones. just remember the three arrows on the black case but I think you already knew that.
so happy with the purchase and no cost to fix.
Just noticed that yours has the on/off switch but mine doesn't, my one is older than yours (TT911P2GB/01)
good job mate.
Pun missed @36:40: "Out of the three of them, this one is toast" would have worked lovely.
Also, toasters don't work on temperature, they work on duration. Even those fancy ones you have.
If removing the crumbs doesn't work usually the opto coupler on the main board (the one with 6 pins) is defective. It is a K3023P and a replacement type is MOC3023. This was a recommendation from another site (5 exampes there) and it worked for me also. Disassembly and reassembly of the toaster was described best here
Back in the 60's General Electric produced a toaster which had a browness setting and no other controls at all. You place your toast in the slot and after a moment it decends slowly and silently into the machine. Once done, the toast slowly and seductively emerges again. All done with bi-metallic springs and linkages. Probably would'nt pass electrical safety codes these days, but they are nice quiet, and highly collectible.
I have a chrome toaster from the 50s that still toasts my muffins wonderfully
!
Back in the old days, the locking mechanism and timer were one single item. A long bimetallic strip with a notch that a spring-loaded latch dropped into. As the strip heats up, it bends away from the latch and eventually pops free. The adjustor moves the latch so the strip has to bend more or less. Usually these get stuck on/down because of crumbs. I've also had the switch contacts wear out so the bread stays down but the filament won't turn on. When shaking crumbs out of one of these old ones (usually pre-1990 or so) make sure to keep the side with the switch tilted upwards to keep crumbs away from the mechanism.
The downside of most toasters is that they don't take into consideration how the entire toaster heats up if doing multiple loads and each subsequent batch gets darker.
The best toaster was made in the 1930s. You can see it on Technology Connections channel (which I heartily recommend). What makes it the best?
Well, you put a slice of bread into into and it slowly lowers it automatically and switches on. Completely mechanically. All you do is put the bread into the slot and it lowers the bread by itself and turns on. AUTOMATICALLY!
Technology Connections, great channel!
Since the fix is this simple, i'm surprised you've not scooped and sold all of the ones on eBay
Love your vids. would it be possible that you can repair some of my retro games (80’s LCD ones)?
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
A sensible repair of a unique product. My sensibility tells me it is needlessly complicated in the name of uniqueness or high end sentiment.
Yep Vince there was kettle that went along with the toaster circa 2003 -2005 if the old memory is correct they sold as a set from certain high street shops something to do with electrolux
I hope this toaster toasts faster than anyone else because it's a Porsche :D
good video, sorted.
Your right they may be safer but in my experience they dry out the toast before it browns, so the old wire element toasters make much better toast!
Does bread toast faster in Porsche toasters? 😄 Great repair job as always. 🤙🏻
Great Video Vince, I bet you never thought you'd be buying 3 Porches for the channel. Unlike the cars these seem overly complicated. Nice video though on a novel product. Looks like it might have taken a a while to clean the crumbs up afterwards. As ever very entertaining.
I've made it now! Yeah most viewers feel the same as yourself, overly complicated. At least things like the shut lines are adjustable which is nice 👍👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince well that is nice so it at least looks the part. Thanks for the reply. Hope you are well
Toast 0 to 60 in no time!!! =D
Add a Flux Compensator and the toast goes back in time (ok, wrong car, I know, but still).
Back in the 1950's -- 1960's, you could buy a toaster that automatically lowered the bread into the machine and raised it up when it was done. All accomplished without any electronics and it did not cost anywhere near $200.00, either. They can still be found now and then at flea markets here in the USA. The Porsche design is very poor if it can be defeated by a few metal or bread crumbs. Probably why they aren't around any more.
taking inflation into account, a Sunbeam 4 slice toaster in 1949 cost $22.50. In 2022 that would be $268. stop thinking how much somethig cost but more about how much people are paid on average.
@@Omega11998822 My point was that the old Sunbeam automatic drop toaster did more than the Porsche, even if they were both the same price. The Sunbeam model can be found on eBay for between $200 and $300 since they are considered "collectable." Add to that the Sunbeam toaster can still work even if it is over 60 years old. As the old saying goes, "They don't make things that way any more."
@@thomaslevy2119 That Sunbeam toaster is genius, I suspect Technology Connections excellent YT video tripled the used market price!
Did they ever make a 240V one for Europe/UK?
@@Omega11998822 That's pretty expensive. I expect a luxury item like an automatic toaster in 1949 could demand such a price and pay American workers a nice wage to produce it too!
@@Drew-Dastardly Don't know if Sunbeam made one for 240 volts. However, if a plug adapter were used, it might make toast twice as fast -- until the heating elements burned out and the toaster melted down!
nice one , 👍👍👍👍👍
There is just a heating coil of wire inside the tube, ie, should be electrically safe to touch, that we used to replace when burnt.
You could probably plastic weld the cracks with a soldering iron, or if it's the right type of plastic use acetone to weld it together.
Bicarbonate of soda with superglue dribbled on it would work perfectly for this
Those holes for the side panel looks like the enterprise with their warp pods 😅
For expensive toasters they are very complex and difficult to repair I mean a rubber belt needing to be lined up its almost like a VCR and the way you need to line up the cogs to get it to accept the tape and eject it All the more kudos to you Vince for persevering with this wacky set of toasters Porsche, who would think they'd sell toasters I bet they make well toasted bread and very accurately to. Nice entertaining video Vince What makes me think is how do the workers build so many toasters and fast when they to have to get the rubber belt around that tricky protubance and they have to line it all up but then I guess when you do thousands of these toasters it becomes second nature but I always think there must be a correct way of doing it if only we had access to a video of them being assembled in China or Germany wherever they are assembled and we had nimble fingers to do it or a machine or tool that does it for them but I guess we will never know
The crumbs in the solenoid look like a creepy skull ghost of all the bread sacrificed to the burnt toast gods.
Nice keep it up
Turns out, a 'Porsche' toaster is just badly designed ...
ps: great video Vince :)
I still have one of those which works perfectly and toasted my hot cross bun this morning. The matching kettle must have worked for about 15 years until it blew up a few months ago.
The fact that they don't work is the most Porsche thing ever
Hey mate stay blessed 🙌 😇 🙏
The Adeptus Mechanicus would approve
A very good Saturday morning to you sir
what a ridiculous design. great video 👍
I thought, maybe wrongly, that quartz heaters were more efficient than wire heater elements. Could be useful if your big on toast in these high-cost energy times👍.
Be interesting to see the electricity consumption verse a normal toaster.🤔
26:26 yooo 😂😂😂😏
Tip with toasters lay the bread on its side works better for single slices 😉
I hate Porsche toasters. They're beautiful, but when they mess up you have to drop the whole front end to repair them. They do love that deep Porsche rumble when it's making my toast though.
