Toaster light doesn't go off when done toasting,. Cuisinart says unplug? seems hard each time you toast. do others have this issue

It's not an "issue." The instructions are to unplug the toaster when not in use, and then the lights go off. (Saves electricity, and prolongs the life of the lights.) I can't understand this being "hard" to do. It takes a tad of learning to remember to do this, but then it becomes automatic.

It is a standby light. Depending on what your setting is, I usually use 4 cause I like mine a bit darker, it beeps to the lower stage as it is finishing. But when it is done, that light - for your setting - stays lit.

This is a most disappointing toaster. Its looks totally belie its functionality. All my lights have gone out except for the bagel and defrost buttons (which I never use).I have no idea what level the toast is cooking at until I smell it burning. Have no idea at this point if the levels work since I have no lights. Other than its sleek looks and taking up limited counter space, this toaster has nothing to recommend it. Even the logo has partially smudged off.

The light that you see is one of the number of heat setting LEDs for the device...it shows how toasty your toast will get when you motorize the toast down and turn the heat on. This ONE light will stay on 24/7 when the device is plugged in. LEDs may not last forever, but they last for a long, long time. What you are experiencing with your device is normal.

One of the 7 blue lights is always on, depending on the last setting. Four of the 7 lights are burned out on my toaster. Perhaps this is the reason?

The light for the "light/dark' of the toast always stays on (if powered). I just packed mine, that was a 12-25 gift, to return as it quit working properly, but I like this so much I ordered another from A.

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.

seeing a lot of complaints about the toaster have you done anything to make it better i need to get 2 slices of bread in at same time sen a lot of reviews that people are having a problem with that

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.

I've had mine a couple years now without a problem, but I don't use it that much. Seems like a decent toaster though.

Eric,Sorry, I can't help you. I've never had the problem. I would recommend calling Cuisinart customer service.

I don't have a problem with my breadmaker at all. After I'm done making bread I unplug it let it cool and clean it. It works like it should everytime.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

It should definitely toast anyway. Is your heat setting down on the actual Toast setting? And you have to turn the timer dial past 10 minutes and then back down to the brownness you want for your toast. If you're doing this and still not working, time for repairman or replacement. Good luck

Mine had a bit of a smell the first time I used it. I just threw the first two pieces of toast away, and it has been fine since. If your toaster still smells after 2 or 3 times, there may be a problem with your toaster.

The light will go off when you unplug the fryer. I think the light is a reminder that the fryer is plugged in.

I have found that what your saying is true. We have to toast things twice on the low setting. Very frustrating. I bought mine awhile ago should have returned it. If you just reasently puchased it send it back.

I find that the top of the toaster gets hot enough that I need to pull my hands away immediately. I fear it could burn me or a child if touched long enough. Could my toaster be defective or is this normal? Past Cuisinart never got hot on exterior.

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.

We just had the same problem this morning (Christmas morning) while trying to prepare a bunch of dishes that require blending. Same scenario ... we've used it a ton since purchasing it a couple months ago, and after one particularly full blender cup turned it off and now it won't come back on (alternate blinking lights).Anyone else have this problem?

No it does not. I have to toast twice and turn it in between. Surprised this happens with Cuisinart

The ticking noises on the features that I stated previously was due to the timer but I have notice different sounds for different settings. Also, I do recall using toaster setting once and I heard nothing out of the ordinary, only the timer ticking noise.

Mine did the same thing and I am so angry. I got it as a gift two years ago and quite frankly forgot I had it until about 6 months ago while re-organizing cabinets. I thought oh cool a new gadget I forgot I had. Used it and loved it and now its dead. Way passed warranty period. No one used it but me and I never dropped it. Can't even make toast. The lights flash like they are supposed to but water stays cold and toaster never gets warm . So disappointed.

I've checked when using, the bottom of toaster and my countertop doesn't get hot. BUT: the top of toaster gets hot. So, I make sure I remove anything that was on top before using.
