Well, if it is just the knob you can try gluing it back, cut up toothpicks might help. If you are confident with electrics you can replace the potentiometer.
Toasters just really go by time or temperature, except the Sunbeam which actually goes by if the toast is 'toast'.
I never let anything die, I just keep fixing it. Hardly an auspicious start though.
After some swearing and trial and error, it turned out that putting it back on was actually quite easy without having to use any glue or anything, making it fulfill the "mildly" part of the community name lol.
Thanks for all the helpful advice nonetheless though, I really appreciate it ๐
Swearing and impact technology are greatly underrated techniques for appliance repair.
Nice! I like "impact technology" almost as much as "concussive calibration" ๐
We also used percussive maintenance
Not true, I had a Philips toastsensor that apparently sensed the toast.
It was good only to burn said toast. That toaster is now in the garbage and has been replaced by a regular one. Good riddance!
