I wonder what it says about me, when the main event on this friday evening is watching Porche-designed toasters getting repaired. Another great video, thanks.
I had a look at my partners toaster recently for the same problem, not staying down. Only a run of the mill machine. Similarly it was held down with an electromagnet, and the connections to the coil were dry jointed and cracked. Probably due to the repeated impact. Quick resolder, all fixed, and saved from landfill
I've noticed if I eat toast in my Porsche, if crumbs fall in near the shifter, it's hard to get the car into first gear. Other than that, it's all good mate! Thanks Vince for a great video! Cheers!
I haven’t watched this yet, but will do. But just wanted to say, I’ve found your channel really inspiring, I don’t know much much electronic knowledge you have, I’m guessing it’s improved though. But I like how you take a calm approach to think logically and narrow down problem areas. I did electronic servicing at night college for five years when I was hoping to become a service technician for a car audio manufacturer I worked for. And eventually I got the job, but I didn’t even know how to solder. But most of the faults with these car stereos was due to dry joints so I started off just doing that. And then later on, you’d find the same models would have same faulty components, so although Od know what’s gone faulty, I’d still try and check circuits, to get familiar with what section would be faulty and then compare voltages etc with repaired units. And then later on I’d try diagnose unfamiliar faults on basic models and just slowly improved and managed to solve a common fault that all the other engineers had, and no one really found out exactly what was the fault and so would just put a new micro chip in, but when I was measuring voltages and also the clock pulses, I cleaned some of the solder flux off, and that basically fixed everything. I’m rambling on, but basically you’ve shown that just being confident to try things really does help. And even being over confident. So thanks for giving me more inspiration.
I volunteer at a Repair Cafe where one of these was brought in with the complaint it had gone "bang" and kept blowing fuses. It failed PAT on insulation. This video was invaluable in working out how it came apart. When the piece with power button was removed I found burns on 2 adjacent contacts on it which push into the main body of the toaster. Between them was what looked like a fried insect - possibly a yellow mealworm or yellow centipede.
Back in the 60's General Electric produced a toaster which had a browness setting and no other controls at all. You place your toast in the slot and after a moment it decends slowly and silently into the machine. Once done, the toast slowly and seductively emerges again. All done with bi-metallic springs and linkages. Probably would'nt pass electrical safety codes these days, but they are nice quiet, and highly collectible.
The coil is an electromagnet used to pull/hold the plunger down, not really sticking to the bottom. Works the same way as an electric solenoid valve like those that control water entering your washing machine or dishwasher. A good clean will definitely help if the magnetic field is relatively weak, which is usually the case with toasters. These are a pretty simple timer mechanism that turns the power on to the coil when you put the toast down, and the timer turns it off. The most common fault is dry joints on the coil, or dirt/grease/crumbs in the switch that activates the coil. Regarding safety, the Quartz element is a little safer, but it is quite easy to break the quartz glass. Inside the quartz glass, you just have the standard nichrome wire element just as a coil instead of strips. Generally, due to being in the glass, quartz elements are deemed to be more efficient. It's always great to see things saved from landfill :)
You know me Vince, I love a 'style over substance' Toaster! This was a really enjoyable repair - Once you'd got to the bottom of the issue it was so straightforward - hopefully you'll have saved a few of these from landfill with it being such a simple fix! Keep 'em coming vince - it's great seeing a variety of things being repaired!
Even though mine has seen some repairs along the way, I love this toaster. It recently started acting up again and this time the after sales returned it saying they no longer have the spare parts in stock. I was able to fix it without any spare parts thanks to this video. 🙏🏻
Ohhh no! The bottle of Isopropyl alcohol is empty 😀 what a nice product, me personally think if i hade one of those fancy coffee makers it would be a nice combo to have it right next to it, anny way brilliant job to make out how it works! And as always very entertaining!
Luckily as the number one tool in my toolbox I always have a bottle of IPA spare in stock 😂 Apparently they also do a Porsche designed kettle to go with the toaster!!! eBay here I come 😂😂👍
@@Mymatevince There was an earlier model of this toaster aswell, serial number is TT91100, it won a design price in 1999, so I guess that's around the year it was released. Siemens still sells spare parts for it (and the TT911P2 aswell) on their website. Sadly the inner plastic housing for the P2 seems to be out of stock, otherwise you might be able to repair the 3rd toaster aswell. Considering they still sell for over 100 Euros that might even have been worth it.
Back in the early ‘80’s I had a Porsche Design motorcycle helmet in JPS colours. It was a really well designed helmet with air flow management and a visor that flipped up inside the shell.
Oooh errr I love a bit of cotton bud action! Get right in there, Vince! Quite an advanced toaster, I've only ever seen the thin wire element type that is wraped around presumably some type of fibreglass board. This quartz heating element type initially looks good but I like my bread toasted to the top and this Siemens one only seems to toast the bottom and middle. I suppose it's also down to personal preference. It does look great though! In my teens I had a pair of Porche design Puma trainers now, they took me places! 🤣 Great video and a great fix! Get some proper Anchor spreadable on that toast. Yummy!
I think it's the time that you start learning plastic welding. You would need a solid plastic welding soldering gun and all types of plastic sticks elements and you already have the dremel. You would make wonders.
Amazing Vince. As a Porsche driver myself I never knew you could get a Porsche Toaster lol. If you would consider selling one of those give me a shout. Mick 👍👌🍻
I love Porsche products. I can't really afford the car I want right now but I have had a few of the Eterna produced 'Porsche Design' watches. I've also had a pen; it was constructed of white gold and carbon fibre. It was on sale from Watches Of Switzerland for £200 (reduced from 400). You should've seen the looks it got when I pulled it out to 'sign on' with it. This was about 15 years ago. Hoping everything runs well with the toasters.
Is there anything these high end motor companies won’t stick their brand on? 😂 How you come across these things is beyond me lol. A fantastic video as always Vince, here’s to the next one 🍻
As others have commented above, Porsche Design is owned by Porsche but operates independently and does pretty much any kind of industrial design. In this case I'm fairly certain Siemens wanted a fancy toaster and had Porsche Design create it, not the other way round.
There is just a heating coil of wire inside the tube, ie, should be electrically safe to touch, that we used to replace when burnt. You could probably plastic weld the cracks with a soldering iron, or if it's the right type of plastic use acetone to weld it together.
Back in the old days, the locking mechanism and timer were one single item. A long bimetallic strip with a notch that a spring-loaded latch dropped into. As the strip heats up, it bends away from the latch and eventually pops free. The adjustor moves the latch so the strip has to bend more or less. Usually these get stuck on/down because of crumbs. I've also had the switch contacts wear out so the bread stays down but the filament won't turn on. When shaking crumbs out of one of these old ones (usually pre-1990 or so) make sure to keep the side with the switch tilted upwards to keep crumbs away from the mechanism. The downside of most toasters is that they don't take into consideration how the entire toaster heats up if doing multiple loads and each subsequent batch gets darker.
Yep Vince there was kettle that went along with the toaster circa 2003 -2005 if the old memory is correct they sold as a set from certain high street shops something to do with electrolux
I had a friend who always put toast in the toaster and always moaned it came out burned, so I suggested he put bread in the toaster not toast, now he enjoys perfectly toasted bread rather than toasted toast. True story, honest..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best toaster was made in the 1930s. You can see it on Technology Connections channel (which I heartily recommend). What makes it the best? Well, you put a slice of bread into into and it slowly lowers it automatically and switches on. Completely mechanically. All you do is put the bread into the slot and it lowers the bread by itself and turns on. AUTOMATICALLY!
Vince love your content love watching one of your videos when I'm bored or just sad you just cheer me up I hope you make content for many years to come love your tech fixing content I hope to start fixing technology too
Great Video Vince, I bet you never thought you'd be buying 3 Porches for the channel. Unlike the cars these seem overly complicated. Nice video though on a novel product. Looks like it might have taken a a while to clean the crumbs up afterwards. As ever very entertaining.
I've made it now! Yeah most viewers feel the same as yourself, overly complicated. At least things like the shut lines are adjustable which is nice 👍👍👍👍
Thanks to your video, I just fixed my dormant toaster after some years in the wilderness. It's still not 100% (eg. there's a crack in the plastic casing beneath it's sleak exterior, but it doesn't affect performance) and I'm so glad to have it back in my kitchen! It's a bit of a classic really and a shame to resign it to the bin. Think I'm gonna have to buy some breakers for spare parts....just in case! Thanks!
Bought one same fault for £50, would not close the top, would not lock in the down position, just like yours, thanks to you I fix it before actually trying it, did what you did now works perfectly, thank you for your help. The other ones you have did you fix them by any chance and yes the toaster does rattle lol. let me know about the other ones. just remember the three arrows on the black case but I think you already knew that. so happy with the purchase and no cost to fix. Just noticed that yours has the on/off switch but mine doesn't, my one is older than yours (TT911P2GB/01)
I was checking out the channel today, thinking I had not seen a Vince vid in a while. Noticed the lambo phone vid had big numbers. Fingers crossed this does well too. 👍
My Murphy Richards had the same problem, fixed it with sandpaper between the electro magnetic contacts that hold it in the down position. Just soot that causes this.
Pun missed @36:40: "Out of the three of them, this one is toast" would have worked lovely. Also, toasters don't work on temperature, they work on duration. Even those fancy ones you have.
Great repair, but the design is terrible for toasting. Having a cantered, single element means uneven toasting. The Dualit toaster is excellent for all over toasting. Design over function in this case. I do like the tech though 😁
I like those actually. And taster is one of those products that you can't buy high quality one. Like those, you can sped a lot on but it is still rattly mess inside.
My TT911P2GB/01 recently failed and i fount the hold down solenoid coil wire had broken off and the coil end is in the center, i have foudn a coil rewind company but i am not sure what the operatin voltage of the coils is, do you know if its 240v ac or lower please ?
Back in the 1950's -- 1960's, you could buy a toaster that automatically lowered the bread into the machine and raised it up when it was done. All accomplished without any electronics and it did not cost anywhere near $200.00, either. They can still be found now and then at flea markets here in the USA. The Porsche design is very poor if it can be defeated by a few metal or bread crumbs. Probably why they aren't around any more.
taking inflation into account, a Sunbeam 4 slice toaster in 1949 cost $22.50. In 2022 that would be $268. stop thinking how much somethig cost but more about how much people are paid on average.
@@Omega11998822 My point was that the old Sunbeam automatic drop toaster did more than the Porsche, even if they were both the same price. The Sunbeam model can be found on eBay for between $200 and $300 since they are considered "collectable." Add to that the Sunbeam toaster can still work even if it is over 60 years old. As the old saying goes, "They don't make things that way any more."
@@thomaslevy2119 That Sunbeam toaster is genius, I suspect Technology Connections excellent YT video tripled the used market price! Did they ever make a 240V one for Europe/UK?
@@Omega11998822 That's pretty expensive. I expect a luxury item like an automatic toaster in 1949 could demand such a price and pay American workers a nice wage to produce it too!
@@Drew-Dastardly Don't know if Sunbeam made one for 240 volts. However, if a plug adapter were used, it might make toast twice as fast -- until the heating elements burned out and the toaster melted down!
If removing the crumbs doesn't work usually the opto coupler on the main board (the one with 6 pins) is defective. It is a K3023P and a replacement type is MOC3023. This was a recommendation from another site (5 exampes there) and it worked for me also. Disassembly and reassembly of the toaster was described best here
For expensive toasters they are very complex and difficult to repair I mean a rubber belt needing to be lined up its almost like a VCR and the way you need to line up the cogs to get it to accept the tape and eject it All the more kudos to you Vince for persevering with this wacky set of toasters Porsche, who would think they'd sell toasters I bet they make well toasted bread and very accurately to. Nice entertaining video Vince What makes me think is how do the workers build so many toasters and fast when they to have to get the rubber belt around that tricky protubance and they have to line it all up but then I guess when you do thousands of these toasters it becomes second nature but I always think there must be a correct way of doing it if only we had access to a video of them being assembled in China or Germany wherever they are assembled and we had nimble fingers to do it or a machine or tool that does it for them but I guess we will never know
Porsche has been in this branding business for almost 20 years. My own first encounter, LaCie Porsche Design external hard drive in 2008. Nice looking...
I thought, maybe wrongly, that quartz heaters were more efficient than wire heater elements. Could be useful if your big on toast in these high-cost energy times👍.
I am pretty sure that for the solenoid to "hold" the mechanism in the down position, the toaster control will need power from the mains to "energize" the solenoid. It is, after all, an electromagnet. Where is it supposed to get the power from to "hold" the mechanism in the down position when it is unplugged Vince? Fred
I still have one of those which works perfectly and toasted my hot cross bun this morning. The matching kettle must have worked for about 15 years until it blew up a few months ago.

I wonder what it says about me, when the main event on this friday evening is watching Porche-designed toasters getting repaired. Another great video, thanks.
We are 780000
It says your comfortable.
It says you're probably a cool customer who gets into some buggery
Does a broken toaster make you lack-toast intolerant?😂Really interesting to see how these things work... great job, Vince!
🤣 Vince may need to be more careful with flammables, this video is toast.
😂 Hahaha, it crust a matter of time before you run out of puns Steve!
@M M Having received 105❤️ so far, I guess it's safe to say that Vince knows whom he's replying to.
@@Mymatevince you mean buns! 😂
It's clear people didn't take their toasters in to the dealer for the scheduled maintenance based on the manual.
Never thought I'd see the day where a Toaster has a Timing Belt.
Too much car influence!
Lucky you don't need to adjust the valve gap.
Your obviously not a toast conisseur! Toast timing is critical to the browning perfection of your bread ! 😉 🍞
Gotta plug in the OBD to adjust the timing on the 2023 toaster. Progress!
I had a look at my partners toaster recently for the same problem, not staying down. Only a run of the mill machine. Similarly it was held down with an electromagnet, and the connections to the coil were dry jointed and cracked. Probably due to the repeated impact. Quick resolder, all fixed, and saved from landfill

Make sure you get your Porsche serviced at an authorised Porsche service centre, otherwise your toast (and crumbs) may never be the same...
you have to love Vince's technical speak, with a solenoidy magnet type thing

Can I be the first person to raise a toast to the completion of this video & fixes of 2/3 units? Well done @Vince 🥂

Great video, I love that you are doing everyday items and the odd repair here and there
We had the Porsche kettle and coffee machine. They were both amazing mind. Fab video as always

Thanks Shawn 👍👍👍
@Ellis The DJ nicrome sounds correct. I believe I read that somewhere before.
@Ellis The DJ Some are, but nowadays more of them use FeCrAl (known by the brand Kanthal).
Krups toasters have employed a quartz heating element for years - I used to sell them back in '02.
I'd like to propose a toast to Vince and his awesome toaster fix!
Back in the early ‘80’s I had a Porsche Design motorcycle helmet in JPS colours. It was a really well designed helmet with air flow management and a visor that flipped up inside the shell.
Oooh errr I love a bit of cotton bud action! Get right in there, Vince!
Quite an advanced toaster, I've only ever seen the thin wire element type that is wraped around presumably some type of fibreglass board.
This quartz heating element type initially looks good but I like my bread toasted to the top and this Siemens one only seems to toast the bottom and middle.
I suppose it's also down to personal preference. It does look great though!
In my teens I had a pair of Porche design Puma trainers now, they took me places!
🤣
Great video and a great fix!
Get some proper Anchor spreadable on that toast. Yummy!
The phrase ‘keep it simple, stupid’ comes to mind with these toasters. Great video Vince! Also I always think your saying ‘fart out sounds’ lol!
26:26 yooo 😂😂😂😏
Thank you for a great video 🙂

YOUR THE BEST
Totally love watching your videos. Always loads of variety. Never know what ur going to try to fix next. But I'll raise a toast to this one.
Loving these videos about weird branded items. Always a treat from Vince ✨️

When you are done making toast, do you set the alarm before walking away? "chirp chirp"
Very interesting, confusing yet easily repairable design. Thanks for sharing this oddity!

Your right they may be safer but in my experience they dry out the toast before it browns, so the old wire element toasters make much better toast!
Does bread toast faster in Porsche toasters? 😄 Great repair job as always. 🤙🏻

Back in the 1950's -- 1960's, you could buy a toaster that automatically lowered the bread into the machine and raised it up when it was done. All accomplished without any electronics and it did not cost anywhere near $200.00, either. They can still be found now and then at flea markets here in the USA. The Porsche design is very poor if it can be defeated by a few metal or bread crumbs. Probably why they aren't around any more.
taking inflation into account, a Sunbeam 4 slice toaster in 1949 cost $22.50. In 2022 that would be $268. stop thinking how much somethig cost but more about how much people are paid on average.
@@Omega11998822 My point was that the old Sunbeam automatic drop toaster did more than the Porsche, even if they were both the same price. The Sunbeam model can be found on eBay for between $200 and $300 since they are considered "collectable." Add to that the Sunbeam toaster can still work even if it is over 60 years old. As the old saying goes, "They don't make things that way any more."
@@thomaslevy2119 That Sunbeam toaster is genius, I suspect Technology Connections excellent YT video tripled the used market price!
Did they ever make a 240V one for Europe/UK?
@@Omega11998822 That's pretty expensive. I expect a luxury item like an automatic toaster in 1949 could demand such a price and pay American workers a nice wage to produce it too!
@@Drew-Dastardly Don't know if Sunbeam made one for 240 volts. However, if a plug adapter were used, it might make toast twice as fast -- until the heating elements burned out and the toaster melted down!
Hey mate stay blessed 🙌 😇 🙏
If removing the crumbs doesn't work usually the opto coupler on the main board (the one with 6 pins) is defective. It is a K3023P and a replacement type is MOC3023. This was a recommendation from another site (5 exampes there) and it worked for me also. Disassembly and reassembly of the toaster was described best here
For expensive toasters they are very complex and difficult to repair I mean a rubber belt needing to be lined up its almost like a VCR and the way you need to line up the cogs to get it to accept the tape and eject it All the more kudos to you Vince for persevering with this wacky set of toasters Porsche, who would think they'd sell toasters I bet they make well toasted bread and very accurately to. Nice entertaining video Vince What makes me think is how do the workers build so many toasters and fast when they to have to get the rubber belt around that tricky protubance and they have to line it all up but then I guess when you do thousands of these toasters it becomes second nature but I always think there must be a correct way of doing it if only we had access to a video of them being assembled in China or Germany wherever they are assembled and we had nimble fingers to do it or a machine or tool that does it for them but I guess we will never know
Turns out, a 'Porsche' toaster is just badly designed ...
ps: great video Vince :)
Porsche has been in this branding business for almost 20 years. My own first encounter, LaCie Porsche Design external hard drive in 2008. Nice looking...
I thought, maybe wrongly, that quartz heaters were more efficient than wire heater elements. Could be useful if your big on toast in these high-cost energy times👍.
I am pretty sure that for the solenoid to "hold" the mechanism in the down position, the toaster control will need power from the mains to "energize" the solenoid. It is, after all, an electromagnet. Where is it supposed to get the power from to "hold" the mechanism in the down position when it is unplugged Vince? Fred
i want one of these but sadly it doesn't look like this model was sold in the states
The iron filings could have possibly come from the toast crumbs if the bread used in it was fortified.
Verry interested video!!!!
Gentle persuasion 😁
A good example of a simple device made overly complicated for no good reason by bored engineers.
A sensible repair of a unique product. My sensibility tells me it is needlessly complicated in the name of uniqueness or high end sentiment.
Tip with toasters lay the bread on its side works better for single slices 😉
I still have one of those which works perfectly and toasted my hot cross bun this morning. The matching kettle must have worked for about 15 years until it blew up a few months ago.
The fact that they don't work is the most Porsche thing ever
Those holes for the side panel looks like the enterprise with their warp pods 😅
