I have a Krups Electronic toaster with push buttons for thawing and reheating, both of which seem to work fine. But, the actual toasting function seems to have broken down, not sure why.
This is a long, white body toaster made of plastic, can hold 4 slices, 2 on each side. There's a dial with 6 settings next to the other two push buttons. Specs are 120V, 60Hz, 800W. Two other numbers listed are 29086 & 885258.
I've had it for a long time with no problems till now. Not sure where to go from here, can't see the model listed anywhere online, so, maybe they stopped making it.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance!

I do not know the exact inner workings of this toaster, but I can suggest what the fault may be.
Many of the toasters use a separate high power section in the eating element for toasting. This part of the element could have gone defective. There is the possibility the computer board that directs the power for the higher temperature mode for toasting has failed.
The only reliable way to know is to try the computer board, element assembly, or the switches if the switches are on a separate module than the computer board.
Just to add... These toaster units usually have a thermo protection fuse. These fuses have a temperature rating. It would be in series with the element. This fuse may have failed. This is a common fault in many of these types of units. This type of fuse is rated in Degrees C or F, and not in Amps. it is a thermo fuse.

The element has burnt out, IF you can get another it is worth repairing, IF NOT, then it is time for a new one.
