How I Fixed A Break
My TLWTOB6 Salton Toastmaster Lightwave broke, and I fixed it. It had still turned on the display OK and pretended to run, but neither the top nor the bottom lamps would turn on. Also, it made no clunk sound that it would usually do when turning on the lamps.
I took it apart (keep careful track of which screws go where, and there are lots of sliding tabs to put pieces together). I examined the bottom of the circuit board holding the big electronics, and saw discoloration; evidence of heat damage. I wiggled a wire near by, and its quick connect tab came off the circuit board; it hadn't been soldered right at the factory. So, I resoldered it (hope my job was done better), and put it all back together, breaking and resoldering a data cable in the process -_-
So, it works fine now, and hopefully will last a while. By the way, the web address in the manual, www.toastmaster.com, doesn't work any more, and the URL is not associated with any IP address right now. Also, there appears to be no fuse inside the toaster oven.
