Einleitung

This guide will help repair the spring in your toaster oven door. If your door is squeaky or not opening/closing properly, this will help fix that problem. Even though this guide only has a couple steps, you must be careful when pulling the spring and twisting it. This guide is best done when using needle nose pliers.

    • Remove the six 9.5mm screws on the back panel using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

    • Remove the two 13mm screws, located between the feet on the bottom of the cover, using a Torx T15 screw driver.

    • Using the metal spudger, carefully pry out the rubber base on each foot to access the screws.

    • Remove the back cover by gently pulling the sides of the cover apart from the rest of the oven. Then, tilt the cover towards the face and pull back at an upward angle. The cover should slide right off.

    Beware: I have a similar but newer model, TO3260XSBD. The cover doesn’t slide off at all. It has metal safety tabs. There’s no easy way to get the cover off without severely bending it to expose each tab, then snipping them off with cutters.

    • With the needle nose pliers, grasp the hook of the rear spring as close as you can to the coils. Stretch the spring back and, with a twisting motion, pull the hook out of its catch.

    • It is recommended to close the door before doing this.

    • Slowly relieve the tension after pulling it out of the catch or else it may damage the spring attachment.

    • Pull the front hook out of the spring attachment.

    • When replacing the spring, it is recommended to start by reattaching the hook onto the rear catch, then the front spring attachment. Attaching to the front spring attachment first will cause unnecessary stress to the attachment and may cause it to deform.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Where did you find the replacement spring?

Pupule Pupule: I would suggest looking at an Ace Hardware for that spring. I believe the have a good selection of those in the drawers near the bolts. Some Home Depot’s may have them too … if they are in stock. Good Luck

Thank You for this article. I went through all of this and found that the spring was fine but where the spring attached to the door had completely broken off. Would I need a whole new door or can I replace the bracket the glass attaches to?

Thanks.

Does any one know what that black screw or bolt is on the back of the device? I got a different model but also have that bolt. It only seems to hold a small screw on the inside. I wonder why this part sticks out like that and what its for
