Before Teardown

Turn the toaster upside down

Unscrew all 6 slotted spanner screws using the slotted spanner head screwdriver

Then unscrew all 4 slotted Phillips heads screws using a Phillips head screwdriver

The slotted spanner screws hold 4 rubber feet in place

Rubber feet can now be detached

Detach timer knob using flat head screwdriver, insert screwdriver between knob and sliding hatch and apply slight pressure away from toaster

Pulling out crumb tray from underneath, using handle

Lift top casing, being careful of the ribbon cable connected from the casing to the circuit board

Carefully rest the top casing on the side facing the ribbon cable

Disconnect the cable connector by pulling away from the circuit board

Unscrew the Phillip head screw inside the top casing

Disconnecting the earth cable from the top casing, and disconnecting the Exterior casing and internal components

Place casing on the side, allowing for the removal of the Sliding mechanism frame, LED strip cover and a heat vent grill on the opposite side

Detach sliding mechanism frame, by inserting a flat head screwdriver pulling towards the frame, unfolding the 6 metal pieces, releasing the sliding mechanism frame along with the LED strip cover. Which can be pulled out using the flat head screwdriver, with no pressure required

Using combined pliers, unfold the 10 metal edges holding the heat grill, pushing towards the outer side of the exterior

To access the buttons, remove the 2 Phillip head screws, pulling out the metal plate covering the module, unveiling the buttons

Clear plastic is easily pulled by hand

The interior housing holds 3 circuits boards

To access the heat controller circuit board, remove the 2 slotted Phillip head screws

Unclipping the 8-pin ribbon cable

Allowing for the removal of the heat controller circuit board, the housing along with the sliding mechanism

To access the second circuit board, and shielded electronic components, use a Phillips head screwdriver, to unscrew the two Philips head screws in place, holding the shielded electrical component module

The shielded module housing will lean back away from the interior components, removing the one Philips head screw, will provide access to the screws on the bottom holding the components

Removing the 3 Phillip head screws at the bottom holding the housing will disconnect the top wire compartment, with the cables, allowing access to the components underneath

Pull out earth cable using combination pliers

Remove cable fasters by inserting a flat head screwdriver into clips, unclipping cables

Remove the 8 Phillips head screws holding the heating controller compartment from the base

Cut wires that are inaccessible, connected to the circuit casing

Pull out / cut any wires still attached to the internal body

Disconnect the 2 pin connectors from the circuit board

Allowing for circuit board module to be removed

Cut the wires connecting to the main wire shielded component to the interior body

Disconnecting the black cables connected to the electrical component

Disconnect wires connecting to the circuit board on the back of the electrical component

Electrical Components and Wires are separated from the internal body

White Wire Housing can be disassembled more by disconnecting / cutting all wires

Unscrew 2 Phillips head screws, separating the metal grill from the base

Leaving the bottom base by itself

The internal component to its base, disconnected from the rest
