Toaster Lever, Black

Dimensions: 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch high, 1-1/2 inches deep

Whirlpool offers a range of products under various brand names, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This toaster lever is an OEM replacement part specifically for Whirlpool brand toasters. It controls the toast lowering function and measures 1 inch in width, 1/2 inch in height, and 1-1/2 inches in depth.

The lever features a spring-loaded pivot point, providing gentle resistance when lowering or raising bread. Its ergonomic design allows for easy one-handed operation, even when toasting multiple slices quickly.

Common reasons for lever failure include wear and tear from extensive use, stress fractures from excessive force, or damage at the pivot point that affects smooth operation.

Signs of a faulty lever:

- Difficulty in lowering or lifting bread completely
- Requires two hands or significant force to operate
- Feels loose or wobbly when engaged
- Exposed sharp surfaces due to broken or missing edge guards

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.
