My toaster doesn't give enough heat to use it

The heating element went out. This can happen on one side of the toaster or both. Your toaster is toasted!!

please make this test with the multimeter.God bless you

the oven doesn't work at all, make sure the circuit breaker or fuse is on at the electrical panel and test the power cord If the oven doesn't work on its toaster and oven functions, test the main switch As needed, check the fuse .
If the toaster function doesn't turn off unless the door is open, test the solenoid, the switch and if necessary, the thermostat
Location of the typical toaster oven's thermal fuse.
If the toaster oven stays on when the door is opened, check the main switch (). If the oven doesn't heat, test the heating elements.

You can change the plug out but I very much doubt that your toaster will even heat. The way toasters work is by a resistance wire that heats up because of the current going through it that causes the wire to heat up. Since the wire that is in your toaster is designed to heat up under 220V drawing 9 amps. SInce you are now supplying only 120V then since I=V/R then in the first instance 9=220/R or 9*R=220 =24.444 Ohms Since in the second instance your V=120 then your Current =4.9 Amps and this will not be enough wattage to heat up the wires.

There are two printed circuit boards inside front of toaster - One PC board for each side. The circuit board on the side that won't latch down in the "toasting" position , is defective. Now, does anyone have access to a schematic for this toaster?

You need to replace the timer-contactor. This part is acting both as timer and electrical contactor. It consist from electrical contact moved with springs on and off. Due to electrical load and extreme heat these contact have been tear out thus they can not contact properly and in your case they don't contact at all.
So from the web page of dualit or ebay you can order A new timer contactor and replace it.

You did not give any description of the toaster so if it is a basic two slice pop-up unit the following applies, the contact operated by the pop up mechanism may not be functioning. The other problem could be that the element on that side has a burnt out winding. You will need to remove the cover in either case - name sure that the toaster is unplugged when you do this

Since the power light in the switch doesn't come on, It sounds like either the outlet where you have this plugged in isn't working, or the cord or an internal connection is bad.

The outlet is easy enough to check if you haven't done that yet; just plug in something else.

If the toaster is dead, if you're really ambitious you can look inside for any obvious broken wires where the power cord connects. I shouldn't need to say this but I will anyway to cover myself: unplug the toaster before trying anything.

You might just want to give up and replace the toaster now. Sometimes these small appliances are put together with tamper-resistant screws to keep people from opening them, both to prevent liability lawsuits and because they were never intended to be serviced. New toasters are cheap, and sometimes it just isn't worth wasting any time when one breaks.

However it works out, good luck, and thanks for using Fixya!

either the high voltage regulator is failing (you can test with voltmeter) Or the heating element is bad. You can test power to element.

jsullivan22 is right about the diode. I have this problem with my 24502, which is a dual version of this. There are 2 circuit boards in your unit one with the LED display on it and another one. The diode needing replacing is on the other board. it is in the center of the board, right next to a large (1/2W or 1W) 2K ohm resistor. The diode is probably part number 3ez24d5. Test it with the diode test on your DMM, if it is bad you will get 0V both directions (I think). Also if you measure it with the Ohm function it will probably measure less than an Ohm (check the zero on your DMM as many are not accurate down this low) You can probably replace it with a <a id="ctl00_ContentMain_CartGrid_grid_ctl02_ctl00_lnkManufacturerPartNumber" href="http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1N5934BGvirtualkey58410000virtualkey863-1N5934BG" style="font-weight: bold;">1N5934BG</a> or a <a id="ctl00_ContentMain_CartGrid_grid_ctl03_ctl00_lnkManufacturerPartNumber" href="http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1N5359BGvirtualkey58410000virtualkey863-1N5359BG" style="font-weight: bold;">1N5359BG</a> Mouser stocks both of these&nbsp; (currently). I haven\'t gotten my parts so I can\'t guarantee these will work, but I\'m pretty sure. I will try the latter first as I\'m hoping it\'s higher power rating will keep it from burning out again, although I will be buying several spares. <br><br>This is clearly a design issue with these toasters and one that could be easily corrected. Both circuit boards in my toaster are very toasty in the area of these diodes, although I\'m sure the fact that these boards are mounted very close to the heating elements doesn\'t help their longevity.<br><br>Hope this helps everyone.

turn the heat nozzel up
