I bought this model and the cord came out the same side as the timer and the on button. It's impossible to use. Anybody end up with this?

I think you got a factory mistake. My cord comes out the back and the toaster works great,

I actually have been selling this product in my store and through Amazon, I have not had any problems with it. I am wondering if the toaster that you received it defective. Did it ever work in the beginning?

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

Hello There, Yes you might be missing the little plastic pieses, that fit in the little you see on the timer. there are two in it. one red to turn on and the other is black to turn off.or the transformer is dead.replace it. check one of the lights to see if the bulb worksBrent

Mine just blew up in the area where the cord goes into the porcelain part. There was a loud pop and smoke. The innards of the porcelain part are burnt. I just got this in June 2014. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

I have had a few problems going in and out I usually twist the cord snd manipulate back. Good luck hope this helps.

Yes. But I decided to use a generic timer (because the timer can't just be placed outside, must be inside the can to perform all functions.) I couldn't easily find one with its socket in the right place & with right number of prongs. So had to lengthen the cords that are inside the big black "can." Unscrew the large plate timer mounts to. I took an extension cord and cut it up to get the right length leads and hooked up and insulated the wires and reinstalled the plate, then shoe horned the new timer in. I forget if I had to drill the plate or not. (If so, line that drilled hole with a rubber grommet from any hardware or car parts place.) Timer works fine. Yes.

I dont know why you are having that problem, i had no such issue. Once i plugged it in using the cord that i received with it, it picked up just fine and i was able to open it. My advice woukld be to contact the seller and explain the issue you are having.

Both myself an a neighbor had this unit (the one before the recall and I never turned mine in) and we both had the problem of it appearing to not come on soon after purchasing. The solution for both of us was to turn the knob to the preferred setting and *never* use the knob again; only turn it on or off by plugging/unplugging the unit.

I'm sorry but I can't help with that. The one I have works great. Never had any problems. Try contacting the seller.

I ordered the same one and same problem. Read directions and found you need to add a controller..frustrating. Haven't done it ,in drawer. Need to order different one.

not sure, that never happened to mine, but a loose connection could be the cord....can you find a new cord online somewhere?

try taking it apart, the two big screws in the front, and move the wire so it comes out the other side (The Philips is designed to do this)...it sounds like its running backwards...let me know if this works...k

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

It sounds like your item is defective. The timer should always be running and advancing. Hope this helps.

My timer went bad as well, but I purchased an outdoor heavy duty timer, made by GE from HomeDepot for $15.00 and plugged the transformer cord into the timer and everything works perfect.

Sorry you got a bad one. Mine works perfectly. Hopefully you can get a replacement.
