Toaster repair

[@WJdad]

Thank you! Great video! We cooked English muffins that must have a high oil content. The toaster began to smoke during use. I cleaned out the tray and found a small puddle of grease. I turned the toaster over and shook out the crumbs. Then had the problem you describe-not latching. I started to take it apart but gave up. Didn’t realize there were tabs holding the base to the housing. I decided to buy another toaster, but checked KZbin first. You finding the problem to be a mechanical obstruction, I shook out more crumbs. Voilà! Thanks again!

Thank you for making this video! I have the exact same toaster with the same problem. If I would have seen this video a couple of days ago I wouldn't have bought a new toaster. It was so frustrating trying to figure out how to take the toaster apart because the screws aren't phillips or hex screws. So those are torx screws? I never heard of Torx screws. Anyway I will have to buy a Torx screw set. Thanks to you now I can return my new toaster that Amazon will be delivering today.

Thanks. I fixed my toaster. Toast film was on the magnet which holds Handel down. Tooth brush took it off.

What screw driver did you use to remove the first(torque) screws?

[@akhaqan]

0:30 Torx screws, you'd need a Torx driver set
