Thank You! Sir
Offer of bread toast with ginger tea in rainy, i couldn't resist it....Ha Ha Ha.
i see many equipment having Metal clips which get rusted and breakout.this is tested way of making lugs out of thick Copper wire & applying solder on it so that it can not get oxidized on longer run.

Excellent quick fix! You ensured that you did not miss your bread toast! Ha! Ha! I liked your innovative idea of making the end of the wire as a lug! That was an out of the box thinking!

Albert, this toaster is almost 25 Years old,wire is under cotton sleeve hence it is difficult to visualize.I always make wire lugs from the same wire end, just strip the wire 1.5 Inch,twist the wire,as per thickness of the screw, wind it on the screw screw, remove the wire from the screw, Apply flux & make layer of solder on it....Lugs is ready.

Good one Yogesh.
I might have opted for a higher gauge wire/cable as it seems to me that they used this sandwich maker A LOT!
Or perhaps slip a spring over the end and heat shrink it in place for strain relief?

That looked like a dangerous sandwich toaster that could have caused serious electrifying events in the kitchen. Especially when water is involved to make thee. Good thing your wife took no chances and immediately asked for your professionally skills to fix it. And nice job on the replacement lugs you made!
