Oster 6329 Troubleshooting

The Oster 6329 Toaster is a commercial grade toaster

"The toaster has no feedback"

Check to make sure that the toaster is properly plugged into an outlet with power.

If the power cord fails, nothing on the toaster will function. The most common cause of complete failure is the power cord malfunctioning. In this case, the best option is to replace the Power Cord.

"The toast is consistently either too light or too dark"

If the bread is too light, first try turning the knob clockwise to increase heating temperature. If the bread is too dark, first try turning the knob counterclockwise to lower heating temperature.

If toast is consistently either too light on the darkest setting, or too dark on the lowest setting, it may be a resistor malfunction. Most likely it is an issue with a resistor on the circuit board and the resistor must be replaced.

"The buttons are unresponsive"

Check to make sure that the toaster is properly plugged into an outlet with power.

If the buttons will not respond to any input, it is likely a problem with a resistor on the toaster's circuit board and the board must be replaced.

"The bread is stuck at the bottom after the toasting is complete"

If the toast is not springing up to your satisfaction, then there is most likely a problem with the springs that push the toast up when it is finished. Usually this is because the springs are old or not in good quality. In this case the springs will need to be replaced.

Another possible problem could be that the lift shelf itself is not properly aligned within the toaster. This is easy to diagnose because the lift shelf itself will be out of its track and loose within the device. To fix this a new lift shelf must be installed.

If one of the resistors has failed, the toaster will not work the way it was designed to. This problem is difficult to diagnose, but one common cause is the R3 resistor failing. In this case you must replace the R3 resistor.

"The bread is very toasted on one side but not the other"

If the bread is unevenly toasted, it may be caused by a problem with the bread grabbing springs. This can be easily diagnosed by watching your toaster to see if the bread is being properly positioned during toasting. If the clasps on the side are not springing together prior to toasting, there is most likely a problem with the springs that make this process happen. The best option is to replace these springs.

"The toaster will spontaneously turn itself on without the lever being pushed down"

If one of the resistors has failed, the toaster will not work the way it was designed to. This problem is difficult to diagnose, but one common cause is the R3 resistor failing. In this case you must replace the R3 resistor.

If the power cord fails, nothing on the toaster may turn on by itself. In this case, the best option is to replace the Power Cord.
