Don’t buy this toaster…They fail and Breville won’t warranty it after 1 year….
Never again Breville..
Thank you for this tear down guide. Though it’s built pretty well and feels like a tank, It doesn’t seem very repairable. Mine stopped working a couple months ago and I’m contemplating throwing it out. Comments?
any chance you still have the electronics for the toaster. Mine stopped working. It’s not the heating element. I THINK the issue is one of the components on the circuit board failed. I’ll buy the harness with the PCB from you, if it’s still around. Thanks.
