    My toaster must be worthless then, because I guarantee that button has no effect on the elements.

      That’s too bad. Might make for a decent Saturday morning project to take it apart and see if you can figure out how to get it to work.

        It’s at least 25 years old, really not worth the trouble. And I don’t know electronics, which I believe this one uses for its element controls.

          Maybe there’s really tiny gears in it, and they spin so fast the friction causes heat.

          I mean, how would you really know if you never completely disassembled it one afternoon and then bought a new one because let’s face it no one’s putting a toaster back together?
