I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don’t have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).
I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it’s always nice to have a reason to get new tools.
In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.
