How to turn off the sound on Cuisinart toaster CPT-2000?

The Instruction Booklet for the Cuisinart CPT-180C Classic Metal 4-Slice Toaster can be found at the following link:

http://www.cuisinart.ca/pdf/ibs/en/CPT-180C_en.pdf

Not sure what you are trying to open. There is a slide out catch tray for cleaning crumbs. There is no information in the booklet that suggests a need or a way to open the toaster.

Perhpas reviewing the booklet will answer your question.

There may be a broken wire inside on that side of the toaster as if all power were out, neither would lock in the down position...

mcdevito75 here, If the lever mechanism is worn it could give out at anytime, the sound you hear is like gears grinding, make sure the setting for Darker / Lighter toast is not set too low, set it for Darker toast and then see if it"s better.

That long rod and spring sound like the rod that the opperating lever rides on, kind of a guide, the spring is what pops it up when the toast is done .. should be sitting verticle in a groove or hole in the opperating lever.

take it in to an appliance repairs shop and have it fixed proeprly

Do any of the lights come on ?

If not then have you checked the plug top fuse

If the lights come on and then when you press the lever down it does not latch a solenoid has gone open circuit

Good toasters can be fixed

Cheap ones go in the trash bin

It sounds like the heating sensor is longer functioning and the toaster is probably kaput, unless you can find an independent repairman who works on small appliances. In my own experience even a pricey toaster last about 3-5 years. I had the same problem with the same brand, just a different style

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 unit. look for disconnected wires from sloppy factory
