Kitchen Gourmet 2-Slice Cool Touch Toaster W14A4694 Troubleshooting

Identified by model number W14A4694, the Kitchen Gourmet 2-Slice Cool Touch Toaster is a simple, easy-to-operate version of the classic appliance. The toaster includes a dial that adjusts the toaster time, a bagel setting, and a cool/stop button.

The toaster will not turn on and begin toasting when it is plugged in, and the handle is pushed down.

Ensure the plug is fully plugged into a working outlet (none of the silver prongs are showing).

This can be solved by ensuring the handle of the toaster is pushed all the way down and engaged (it doesn't jump back up).

Even when plugged in and the handle is engaged, the toaster will still not heat up.

This can be solved by following the disassembly guide for this item and replacing or repairing the PCB at the front of the toaster.

This can be solved by disassembling the toaster and reconnecting any disconnected wires that lead to the heating system (red, blue, or yellow colored wires).

Despite turning the dial for the heat setting, the toaster continues to heat at the same temperature.

Ensure the dial is properly seated in the outer housing of the toaster. If it is pulled out or is not sitting straight on, the dial may not contact the potentiometer. This can be solved by simply removing the dial, lining up the keyed shaft with the keyed hole in the potentiometer, and pushing it straight in until it fully seats.

This can be solved by following the disassembly guide for this item and replacing or repairing the PCB at the front of the toaster.
