My Kitchenaid Toaster only toasts on one side. The bagel button is not turned on. The element inside does not heat up. Can this be fixed?

Most non-commercial toasters are not user serviceable. There is likely a break in the element contact on one bank. If you like to tinker, unplug, dismantle and re-solder any questionable connections.
Replacement is probably your only practical option.

Toaster BTA830XL only toasting bread on one side the outside elements only. Not using bagel setting.

There are tow issues here: Bilateral elements (heating strips) of course are necessary for two sided toasting, and you mentioned the Bagel Setting. Are you saying the Bagel setting works with both sides in operation and inoperative when in normal mode? Obviously is in both modes, should only one side function, the element is burnt out.
We need more information.

My Oster 2-slice toaster only toasts on side of the bread' do I need to replace an element ?

You definitely don't have the "bagel" button pressed, right? If it is in bagel mode, it only uses the heating elements on one side.

What are top buttons for

Each bay has 3 buttons: Left button: Frozen items (Waffles, etc.)
Center button: Bagel setting ( turns off the outside elements, toasting only the insides of the bagel)
Right button: Cancel (turns off the Frozen and/or the Bagel settings and "pops up" the toast.

Received 2 slice toaster (kitchenaid) as a gift - from the very 1st time it was used, only the outer coils would heat up, so only 1/2 of each slice ever gets toasted!!! Anyone who could help solve this...

I think it is set to cook bagels. Check the control settings.
Most toasters have a bagel setting which only cooks the
sliced side of the bagel. This model is designed to accept bagels. Hope this helps.

The two inside elements do not toast. The outside

You either have a stuck/defective bagel button, which turns off two elements; the elements have a break in them; or there is a wire broke or loose on the inside elements.

If you can use a multimeter, you can unplug the toaster and remove the case and check for all of these conditions. At each end of the toasting element, check for continuity, if OK, then check the bagel button to see if it is working correctly, again with the continuity check.

Check all connections to make sure none have burned off at the wire/connector points, and finally, check the thermal fuse to see if it might have failed.

Other than that, there isn't much else to check.

Hope you found this Very Helpful - Best regards!

Toaster only toasts on one side

Please ensure that the "Bagel" function is not selected (LED is not lit up). The Bagel function will toast one side of the bread while only warming the other side.
