Before tossing out the toaster, check on the inside of the toaster, you may have a wire bread closure in there that is blocking the lever.
I took my son's toaster apart when they replaced it, and found a bread closure inside it, blocking the lever. Anything small enough to fall inside could do this too. (The toaster works fine now, and I use it myself!)
Make sure you unplug the toaster first, you don't want to have a "shocking" experience.
Turn the toaster upside down and shake it a few times, over the kitchen sink, and then open and clean the "crumb" compartment.
Sorry to tell you this, but, your toaster is no longer available on the market, you might want to check a few thrift shops in your area...or you can check this link for another model that is pink and a KitchenAid.
