    Your consumer right, if it is inherently faulty, is for the trader to have it replaced or repaired. The consumer rights act doesn't say he has to do it with his own hands, and many retailers do not know one end of a screwdriver from the other.
    Having the manufacturer fix it makes sense and is quite legal. However the trader remains responsible overall.

    Many people enjoy a toasted hot cross bun around Easter. Are you quite, quite sure that you don't have the charred remains of a juicy sultana stuck in the faulty side?
  • OP you have 90 days to open an A-Z claim on Amazon, this is the easiest answer :)

    Just to give some unwanted information, we were going through toasters at the rate of one a year. Until I bought a Dualit 25 years ago, which is still working. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
