We bought this toaster on Amazon. The rheostat has failed and the toaster won't shut off - any ideas?

This may sound like a wise butt answer but its not. Unplug it and then take or send it for a repair.

Mine did the same thing and in order to get it fixed or replaced, you have to send it back to the company and be stuck without a toaster until it is fixed or replaced. You may also take it to a repair center if you have one close enough. I live in Pittsburgh area and the closest one is across the state in Philadelphia.

According to Waring service, they Replace these units, not Repair them. If you're near one of the service centers (see owners manual) you can take it to them ($10.00 fee for "processing") -otherwise cost to ship it back to them (or factory) + $10 fee is almost, if not more, than the toaster cost new. Its NOT a well made machine, so I wouldn't even bother with replacing it - it WILL break again. Good Luck!!

I am very unhappy with this toaster. The reason I brought it was because CR rated it high. If I had paid attention to the reviews by other amazon comsumer I would have not brought it. I will replace it asap. I wish I had kept my very old toaster. I hope this is helpful to you

Amazon has a great return policy, usually. I would return it. Or call Honeywell and get a replacement.

The best thing to do is call the costumer service and they will ask you to unplug the machine and than turn on again so the part will collapse down. On our machine it happens so many times to the point we had to send to repair but we often need to re do the process over and over again. The repair did not help. I would call them and try their steps.

Sorry to hear you had trouble -The first one I had seemed to be very slow, but did not burn out. I bought a second unit and it much better than the first one - cooks better and actually toasts bread - I love it!

I have the two slice one, when you press lets say bagel, the bagel button will come on. Must be a defect I am sure when you press toast there should be a blue light that tells you what you are toasting..as in reheat the blue light comes on. Guess you will have to send it back..

I loved the fal TL6802 4-slice digital toaster until the digital stopped working. It stays on 1 and I keep pushing down the lever until I get the color toast I want. Have had the toaster for less than a month and no box to send it back. Any suggestions?

My toaster does not work well at all. I will not buy another one like this one. If you find one that works well, please let me know because I am replacing this one.

Good morning, I have had mine for only a year and it has not had any problems. However, I had a couple of thoughts that might (or might not!) help. Have you tried a different plug in? There is a safety limit switch that will turn off the machine if it overheats that may have failed. Finally, the heating element may have failed. If you have not done so you may want to contact the people that built it - they are here in the USA so they should be available to help. Good luck, I would really miss mine! Dave

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

bagle side does not work as normal toaster. I think it just ups the time . ron

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

Mine did the same thing and I am so angry. I got it as a gift two years ago and quite frankly forgot I had it until about 6 months ago while re-organizing cabinets. I thought oh cool a new gadget I forgot I had. Used it and loved it and now its dead. Way passed warranty period. No one used it but me and I never dropped it. Can't even make toast. The lights flash like they are supposed to but water stays cold and toaster never gets warm . So disappointed.

can you - maybe, depends where you bought it, but Why do you want to return it? - I have mine for over a year and it really works fine - good for lazy people who don't like to push the toast down - a micro motor brings it down gently - Arthur

I returned the toaster, because the lever that holds the toast down didn't stay down. Sorry I can't help you.

Sorry I dona it to Sali army. It is not a toaster a any shape or form. Takes at least to get to temp. Customer service has no care for the people who keep them in business. Us.
