Are the dots opposite the toaster selections suppose to light up? Mine do not

My two slice toaster has a blue light that lights up next to each chosen selection. i.e..bagel light, warm-up light.

Mine do not light up, but it doesn't toast evening, and one side does not work at all. So your toaster may be a defective as mine seems to be. Wouldn't you think you could trust the brand Cuisinart? No longer.

I have the two slice one, when you press lets say bagel, the bagel button will come on. Must be a defect I am sure when you press toast there should be a blue light that tells you what you are toasting..as in reheat the blue light comes on. Guess you will have to send it back..

One of the dots will light up if you select one after turning on the toaster. If you just turn on the toaster by pulling down the level then they do not light up.

Yes, they light up blue when the selection (bagel, defrost, etc.) button is pushed.

Yes. You set how dark you want the toast on a scale from 1 - 8and a vertical set on bars will decrease until only 1 is left. Thenit will beep a couple times before popping up.

Yes it is a cool touch toaster, but the one we have doesn't toast evenly or the same darkness twice. Maybe purchase different toaster or ours may just be a dud. hope this helps

Margo - I have owned this toaster for a while and have never heard any type of humming noise. It may or may not be a problem. It could be the elements reacting like some light bulbs do when turned on and will hum. I wouldn't think though that this is normal.

Yes, as far as I know. After the toast cycle the lights around the control buttons go out .

When not in use the glass door appears dark because it's dark inside the toaster oven. When I'm cooking the light is on and you will see inside during that time. Ur welcome!

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

nothing is on or using power until you push the level down to lower the toast, the only led that will be on at that time is if you select one of the special functions, bagel, defrost, or reheat. when the lever pops up everything is returned to off position.

This is not an issue for me. I store my toaster in a drawer when not in use so always unplug it after use. When I plug it back in, the lights come on to whatever the last setting was. It's a feature I rather like as I'm not always toasting the same sort of thing. It lets me know if I have to reset it lighter or darker before I put the whole wheat bread, bagel, whatever in the toaster.

That happened to me! You are probably covering the light/dark sensor (a small circular indentation) when it's upside down. Try putting your finger over the sensor when it's right side up. It may be the area isn't dark enough for them to come on.

Mine did the same thing and in order to get it fixed or replaced, you have to send it back to the company and be stuck without a toaster until it is fixed or replaced. You may also take it to a repair center if you have one close enough. I live in Pittsburgh area and the closest one is across the state in Philadelphia.

We have the 2 slot model. The cord is situated toward the front of the toaster but can be led out from front or back. We do not see the cord location as problem.

It does, but they stop working when the toaster stops working. Mine stopped working after two months. The "digital" features are cute but when so many people are reporting that the digital panel stops working so quickly, you might want to go with a different brand.

No, this toaster does not toast evenly and I was very disappointed with this purchase. I read the reviews and they looked good but the toaster did not live up to the good ratings and I'm not that picky.

The light is always on. When the toast comes up there are two loud beeps. The light is nothing more than a little green dot. I have never felt the need to turn it off.

Eileen-Marie,I just checked ( I never noticed before - go figure) it does not light up. I guess I'm just always in the dark so it doesn't matter...
