How to fix Back To Basics TEM500 Egg and Toaster combo where the egg portion not heating the water.

I have a Back To Basics TEM500 toaster and egg maker. The device toasts but does not heat the water to make the egg. Is there a way to fix it? I have an electronics background and am pretty handy when it comes to fixing electric devices that are pretty simple. I just would like to see if anyone else has done this so I don't have to figure it out / reinvent the wheel. Thanks

SOURCE: Back to Basics egg toaster

My egg cooker stopped working, so I took the unit apart. To answer your question, I did not see a fuse inside. One way to tell if it is a power problem to the mother board is to observe whether the LEDs light up or not after pressing the switches. If the LEDs don't light, there could be something wrong with either a power component or a power connection.

In my case, the toaster worked fine. Usually these problems are caused by loose connections. Sometimes it is not obvious where the loose connection is. All I did was loosen and re-connect the wires to the egg cooker and also to the board they came from. I also shined up the toast slide button copper connections with a nail file. This was just a precaution, since the toast slide button had to be working (i.e. it still toasted, just didn't cook an egg).

So far, it seems to be working, but time will tell. If the problem was due to something other than a loose connection, it will happen again.
