Breville CT20 Retro Classic 2-Slice Toaster Questions & Answers
Toaster won't stay down but does heat
I had the same problem. I opened up the toaster and found that the electromagnet that holds the plastic clip to keep the toaster down had a tiny crumb between the magnet and the metal plate. I cleaned the magnet and it is working fine again. We spent 6 months burning toast by holding it down with a chopstick wedged between the lever and finally took a shot before I went to buy a new one. Took me all of 15 minutes.
Breville classique toaster
Just fixed my Breville CT20. Cleaned the contacts, there were no impeding crumbs so I tested again and still wouldn't stay locked. I finally replaced the 470uf 16v capacitor on the control board just below the electromagnet and wow, works like a brand new toaster! I got lucky, saving bits and pieces of old circuits sometimes pays off.
Lever won't stay down Breville CT20
hi
sounds like the problem is the holding down mechanizem
clean the toaster well
find that spring which caches the lever down
you can find it on the external lever side
pretty small and simple thing
when you push down the external lever
the spring kick a little lever which holds the slide in place for heatup
only when you will hear a "click" then you'll know its in place
and then the electric cicuit will be close and engage the coils to heatup
good luck

How do i get the screws out of a breville toaster
I took a 3/16" common (straight) screwdriver bit from one of my cheap universal driver bit sets, chucked it vertically in my shop vice, mounted a grinding disk in my Dremel tool, and ground a 1/16" wide by 1/16" deep slot in the center of the bit. It worked perfectly. A hacksaw blade carefully placed could produce the same tool.
