If the fuse in your toaster cuts off power to the heating element and gets stuck, then there is a possibility it is broken or damaged. The fuse is used for safety to ensure your toaster does not over heat. Make sure to replace this part to prevent any danger.

Elements
If your toaster does not heat in the heating element, also known as the cooking compartment orcooking chamber then there might be a break in the wires and the element will not be able to produce any heat. In this case you will need to replace the heating element. Tip: when installing the new element, remember that the wires are fragile and can be damaged easily. Replace element with identical structure and be careful not to distort the shape of it as you are installing.

Control Boards
The controllers or also known as circuit boards, have vital functions that control how long the bread you put in your toaster will toast for, as well as the heat it produces. If one of the elements in your board burns out then the whole board will need to be replaced and reinstalled with a new one.

Thermostats
If the bread you put into your toaster is not heating, then check the sensor or thermostat. This is an important component to heating your toast. The thermostat maintains a certain temperature balance and when it reaches a setpoint, it will turn off to avoid overheating. If your thermostat does not function this way and does not work, it will need to be replaced to avoid any danger.
