Repairing Star Vertical Contact Toasters
Star has made many versions of its vertical contact toasters over the years. Our technicians check the model and serial number, review known issues for that model family and test before replacing parts, so you only pay for what is actually needed.
How we repair your Star Vertical Contact Toaster
A vertical contact toaster presses buns against a heated vertical platen and carries them through on a belt to caramelize the cut side. A vertical contact toaster is usually a heating element or plate, a thermostat or temperature sensor, a timer or control board and a thermal fuse for safety. A technician tests the power path, the heating element and the safety devices, and confirms the repair costs less than replacement.
