It will be. GSC3 is probably at the charging station topping off his toaster and will be along shortly.

Have you tried watering it?

Try heavier bread or push it down with a butter knife.

I've never had a problem putting the bread in and pushing the little lever down. Works every time.

You want non political topics in OT? Well, here you are, right here.....antique toaster repair. And so far, I haven't received any serious diagnosing help.

Okay, serious advice: Toss that POS in the trash, then go to Walmart and buy a new $20 toaster.

YW

Like my non functioning Bose Wave clock radio, I don't want a new toaster, I just want THIS toaster to work. I don't even use it for myself, I've got a toaster oven for bagels, frozen pizzas, etc.

I like dragging it out for guests to marvel at, and this last time, I was embarrassed when I drug it out and it wouldn't work.

Reboot the toaster & see if it passes all the self test startup processes ,
then log into the Admin menu & go to 'Diagnostics' & check the error journal
for the last error report .

You may need to perform the 'Factory Reset' procedure & then re-link it to your
smart phone & then perform the set up configuration process to re-enter your saved settings .
