Fuses
If your thermostat is working and switches are working, but the bread in your toaster does not stay down, then check the fuse. The fuse is used as a safety precaution to prevent a fire by cutting off power to the heating element if the toaster gets too hot. If your fuse is not working, it can be dangerous so it is important to replace immediately.

Control Boards
The controllers or also known as circuit boards, have important functions that control how long the bread you put in your toaster will toast for. If one of the elements in your board burns out, then the whole board will need to be replaced.

Thermostats
If the bread you put into your toaster is not staying down, then check your thermostat, which is also known as the sensor. This is an important component to heating your toast. When working properly, the thermostat makes sure to maintain temperature to a certain limit and setpoint. When it reaches a certain point, it will turn off. If your thermostat does not function this way and does not work, it will need to be replaced.
