Einleitung

The Toastmaster W252C is a vintage waffle maker taken off of the market decades ago and replaced by more modern and complex waffle makers. Join us as we discover and dismantle this relic of the past.
In order to successfully disassemble the device, use a small flathead screwdriver and prying tool. Make sure the device is unplugged and fully cooled before you begin the process. Other than that, there are no dangerous components or specific tools you will need.

    • Disassembling the device is easy. A single flathead screwdriver is needed to take care of all the screws.

    • The disassembly is straightforward. There are no hidden screws or glue.

    • Since the W252C is so old, there are little to no replacement parts online unless you buy another W252C and take it apart, which defeats the purpose of repairing it.

Do you know what the different model number letters mean? I just found a W252F. Looks just like the model you show. Just wondering what the F means vs C. Thanks
