I have a Toaster Oven that once it warms up to the selected temperature, it
begins to spark between the bimetal contacts. Unfortunately, money is an
issue, so just junking it and buying a new one isn't an option at this
time. Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent it from sparking?

Try cleaning the contacts with a piece of emery cloth or very fine file.

Yes turn off you computer and your ISP then you will have the
money!!!!!!




hmm, considering at this moment I don't pay for the electricity or the
internet and I'm saving up for an appartment... Yes the fact I don't
spend anything on it would save me money unplugging it... Great logic..


When someone asks a question, why not respond to the question instead of
practically yelling at them?

USENET saves us money. And if it weren't for electricity
you'd be reading USNET by candlelight.

I think he forgot to mention that you also need to use the candle to boil
water, which makes steam, which turns a turbine, which runs a generator, the
electricity from which runs your computer, so you can read USENET by
candlelight.

that doesn't seem to help. I've had it since christmas, and I think it may
have had problems for a while and was just noticed.
