Hallo Elke,

es gibt neben den Toastern mit dem Magneten noch eine andere, weit verbreitete Toaster-Bauart, bei dem ein kleiner Haken aus Kunststoff oder Metall den Auswurf solange unten hält, bis ein Bimetall sich entspechend erwärmt oder eine Zeitschaltuhr auslöst. Häufig greifen diese kleinen Haken nicht mehr, und der Auswurf rutscht immer nach oben. Hier hilft in der Regel eine kleine Dreikantfeile oder die Rekonstruktion des Hakens.

Bei einigen Fällen ist aber auch der “Zeitgeber” defekt.

Hat leider nicht funktioniert! Toaster der Marke Koenic KTO 120 elektr. HALTEMAGNET defekt. Konnte einfach ohne Abdeckung ( ACHTUNG AUF STROMFÜHRENDE TEILE ) getestet werden = Magnet ohne Funktion !!,

Das Gerät ist noch keine sechs Monate alt… , Definitiv keine Kaufempfehlung!
