Thanks! I try to make things understandable for everyone, because I go into these projects with little knowledge myself and they can be intimidating if they aren't taken slowly and simply.
So this video went the way most of my do-it-yourself repairs and upgrades go. Somewhere on the path I break something, or sometimes it's that on the way back I forget to replace a part or how to reassemble a part. When it involves a computer something else goes wrong like hardware or software fails. It helps seeing you get this far though. Your ideas about the way things work and stop working along with seeing you take this model apart taught me a few things about toasters in general. There are so many models and no videos or articles on my specific toaster anyway. Since I bought mine toaster quality has dropped to a pathetic level. I hope I can fix it. Thanks!
Thanks for the help. Same as your mom's, it worked after I took it apart. But when I put it back together and hit the cancel button sparks would fly. So thought best to just let it go. Thanks again.
this guy deserves 2 thumbs up, quality if video could be better mabey open a window or get a few better light bulbs or a light stand next to you, other than that I got the gust of it, explanation was epic, and I'm gonna go fix NY toaster now, thanks amigo keep up the good job, look into the lights.
It really helped me, by you breaking that plastic part. I know what to be careful of now. Sorry that you broke it though. I find that glue rarely works well on something that will be moved all the time.
+Eileen Wilke This is probably because electric current is not getting the two magnets that hold the lever in place. See if anything looks disconnected or broken. Be Safe!
Copper wire won't get hot eh? Take a 6" piece of bare #12 in a U shape, stick it in an outlet and see if it gets hot. Do the same with a very high resistance plastic zip tie and see if it gets hot.
I am extremely curious, but don't want to wreck my toaster.. What will happen if you connect a car battery to the plug?? Will the wires heat up and turn red? I am 99% sure it's DC current going thru those coils, but have no idea how the circuits/resistors/etc. will react to DC as opposed to AC. Any thoughts?
If you are in North America you typically receive AC current to your house at 120 V and 60 Hz, but many appliances will convert this AC to DC current so you are right about this toaster needing DC. I am not sure exactly how the toaster would draw power from the car battery, but if it draws it at higher levels than it would a typical outlet in your home you could damage the toaster to the point it wouldn't work. My guess though would be the toaster would just heat up quicker than usual considering the coils are a resistor, but it is possible you may break the mechanisms (capacitor) used for the dials.
Good video...I gave thumbs up for effort, but what I see is a lot of plastic stuff destined to break. Compare to a 1940's or 1950's era TOASTMASTER. Just sayin'.... bulletproof.
You are good with electronics you are a bad mechanic. First, you should have had a soft cloth underneath the toaster so as to not scratch it. And the alignment of the variable resistor should have been obvious to anyone mechanically inclined. But thankyou for your explanation. It seems like most of these toaster work with some kind of magnet to hold the lever down. In this case it was an electro magnet.
I like the way you explain in simple terms the electronic components.

I fixed my toaster by watching your video. I had the same challenge.
Thanks!
I love hearing that! Glad it worked for you!

+Carli'akala Thompson It's always smart to avoid using items that might pose a health risk. Thanks for watching!
:)
Very good explanation. Much appreciation. I can't believe I understood what you demonstrated

Thanks! I'm glad my video helped you and my explanation was clear. I actually did buy some lights recently haha.
Appreciate if you give a video that shows the increase of temperature's period

A helpful son.....a very rare species lol
Please how to replace cord and what size cord to get?
Thanks for instructions mate. I have to fix my toaster.
No problem, good luck!
I fixed my toaster now. It is working well. Thanks mate! 😀
Awesome!!!
One of my element wires shorted and blew, can’t that be repaired on a toaster? Brand is an Oyster.
Bread toaster can use 110v to 220v nothing problem?
Thanks, it worked for me, I fixed my toaster.
I love hearing that!
How can I fix my toaster cannot deliver !!can I have some idea how thank you
When I push the lever down, it pops up again, what do I do to make it work?

useful brother
Well done...
Thanks i just fixed mine😄

Much better if you plug it in and take a bath while doing this.
I voted for PEDRO !
Thanks goodness for 1.5x speed
Sir please speak your full pronounciation,... so I will understand your explanation
when u try to fix ur toaster and the guy helping u broke his at the end of the video .....
funny breaking the dial

Well and HOW TO: Repair a toaster that is shorted? Where is the problem!
Lets get the lighting fixed before you make a video.
just opened my toaster and found the skeleton of a dead, dried up mouse. Decided not to try and fix it.
Bad lighting
do you really publish a 15 min video that doesn't helps anyone to fix a toaster? ridiculous ..
this was sooooooooooo boring
Such a nerd ha
F’ing USELESS!
I stopped watching after 3 minutes. It took you that long to say what you were going to do, tell us to clean it, and take out 4 screws. zzzzzzzzz
