Toaster: Toaster Philips HD2618 - Womit kann man diese Schraube öffnen?

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 04:28:41 -0700

Hallo,

hin und wieder gibt es Schrauben, die man mit den üblichen Bits nicht öffnen kann (meistens Absicht vom Hersteller, um Reparaturen zu unterbinden).

Beispiel von einem Philips HD2618 im Anhang. Außentorx passt nicht.

Bleibt da wirklich nur Zerstören (Wegdremeln) oder gibt es irgendwo passende Bits?

Vielen Dank schon mal und beste Grüße

Hilfswerkzeug aus Zangen bzw. Schraubenziehern basteln habe ich schon versucht. Die Schrauben sind aber leider maschinell angezogen und sitzen bombenfest.

An anderer Stelle hat man mir jetzt den Tipp mit den so genannten “Nintendo-Bits” gegeben. Mal sehen, wie es damit klappt…

Toaster: Hebel beim Toaster hat sich gelöst

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 10:16:46 -0700

Hallo,

bei meinem Toaster hat sich der Hebel (also nur das Plastikteil) gelöst. Grundsätzlich funktioniert alles noch, aber man muss mit dem Teil die Mechanik nach unten drücken. Das Teil scheint nicht abgebrochen zu sein, lässt sich aber auch nicht wieder befestigen.

Hat jemand eine Idee?

Der Toaster ist mit ganz speziellen Schrauben verschlossen, ein Aufschrauben also nicht möglich.

Toaster: How do you fix a toaster lever?

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:30:48 -0700

My toaster, just past warranty, won't toast any more because the lever won't stay down. I know it's cheap, but I don't want to throw away what used to work fine.

I was making toast and my toasting levers are not staying down. Ive tried just holding them down to turn on the toaster but that doesn't seem to be working. Is there any way to fix this or at least replace the part?

I am trying to put my toaster away, but the cord will not retract on its own. I have tried manually putting the cord back in but it is not working. How do I get the cord to retract again, or at least figure out a way to manually do it?

Oster 6344 Toaster: Why won't lever work

Thu, 07 Apr 2016 09:31:34 -0700

Nothing is bent and the crumb tray is clean. So why won't the toast lever say down? Is it done with magnets (as our other toaster will only work when plugged in for the lever to stay down). Could the magnets stop working if that is indeed what keeps the lever down? I hate to ditch this toaster and if I could get it to work, I'd return the one I just bought.

Toaster: My toaster sparked when I used a fork while it was ON

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 12:50:25 -0700

Dear ALL,

I would be grateful if I could get some advice on how to fix my favourite Russell Hobbs toaster. I used it last morning and while I was toasting bread, my son suddenly touched it on its sides with a steel fork while it was still toasting. It suddenly gave a spark and my mains went off(meter tripped). Later, when I tried to switch it ON it did not. Please kindly let me know if something can be done to fix it right or should I give it up. I would love to bring it back into life please.

Any advice/suggestions are great welcome and would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Toaster: Small blue flash when toaster is finished

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 22:24:03 -0700

I just bought a 2nd hand toaster, it toasts fine, but there is often a little blue flash as it finishes, or if I press the cancel button. I’m not sure if this is a problem or not, I have had a couple of other devices ( a heater and a kettle) that did the same thing, so is it a problem?

Also, I’ve bought 2nd hand electrical stuff before from this shop, and they usually have a “passed safety testing” sticker, but this item doesn’t, is that a worry?

The blue flash is coming from inside the toaster, and no I don’t have DMM.

Hi, I tried to learn a new skill with repairing something so I bought a Magimix Vision Toaster - apparently been dropped. Looked at PCB and then decided to replace control button PCB however it's still not working.

Heating element is fine but just can't get it to stay down.

Toaster: Russell Hobbs two slot toaster has only one side working?

Thu, 04 Sep 2014 06:02:38 -0700

I was using the toaster putting toast in and saw a flash inside the second compartment. Therafter that side isnt working only the other side.

Would this be the element gone? Is there please a repair I can tackle?

Is it an easy job.

Surely any help would be appreciated
