This is being posted in advance since I don't yet have the unit in my possession, but it will be arriving soon so might as well get the information while I can.
I've bought a Sunbeam T-20a toaster and there's an issue with it that I wasn't able to find in the Service Bulletin; The seller mentions that the toaster lowers itself down and heats without the presence of bread and will not raise itself unless unplugged. The service bulletin describes a similar issue but (adding to my suffering) the /exact opposite/, listing down an issue where the unit will not detect anything being put inside. Is this a problem involving a stuck trigger or is it something else? I'll be able to provide additional details about it when I actually have the unit on-hand, it is a Christmas gift. |

Here is a good video describing the operation and some repairs of these Radiant Control toasters. Despite the slight model number differences, the mechanism is very similar. |

And here is another video from the same crafty guy, explaining the entire operation of the mechanism... Hope you get it fixed - you will love it. |
