My toaster is only 7 months old, and the main lever on it does not stay down. (the lever on the right side that is to be used for toasting only one or two slices.)
Same problem. I submitted an online product support form at cuisinart.com.
I opened up the unit. My ohm meter showed some issue around the large gray resister/capicitor and/or the little "catch" that seems to have an electromagnet in it. Same problem. I submitted an online product support form at cuisinart.com.

I have the same problem exactly. The control for the toast on the right side(the side which is supposed to be used first) will not stay down. The toaster is too large to stay on my counter for only a two slot toaster so I would like to find a way to fix it.I have the same problem exactly.

When I turn the timer on to start the toaster, it trips the fuse and knocks out the other sockets. Any ideas what this could be ?When I turn the timer on to start the toaster, it trips the fuse and knocks out the other sockets. Any ideas what this could be ?

When the push down lever hits the bottom it pushes another little lever which makes contact with the positive and negative terminals. over time, these terminals get ever so slightly bent, especially if you start pushing the lever down hard. what you have to do is take the toaster apart, get to the positive and negative terminals and pinch back into shape with some pliers. you should understand once you look at it. Then put back together. if it doesn't work then it's likely a component has gone so, unless you have a multi-meter and a soldering iron I wouldn't suggest doing this.
my toaster did this once, i suggest that you get a new toaster from a different company, because if you've only had the toaster a month and its doing this already that's a crappy toaster
This is a problem, our old toaster had this problem, and it would only work if we jammed the handle down, but don't try this, only because ours broke after we tried this, but if you can send it to the manufacturure, they should be able to fix this. If you don't what to do this, please phone me at 505 9181, but please call me from 8:00-10:00, 2:30-8:00.
Open the toaster up and look inside by the levers, there should be a little piece that will keep the lever down, if this is missing, then you may need to replace the toaster, if not, then the little piece may be stuck, you can use the following to try and loosen it up,
1. WD-40
