Toaster Oven worked fine at breakfast. Later in the day when I tried to turn it on it was completely dead for all functions. The power indicator light does not illuminate. It behaves as if there is an internal breaker or fuse which has tripped or blown. If this is the case, is there anyway to reset or replace.
It sounds to me like you might have tripped the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) or tripped the breaker. Go get a small lamp, radio, or other small appliance to plug into the same outlet. If they don't work, you have no power. The outlet you are plugged into may not be GFCI, but an outlet upstream may be. Older GFCI's were very prone to false trips. Newer models have indicator lights that either glow green when the power is on or glow red when they are tripped. If this doesn't pan out, go check your breaker box. A tripped breaker will have some room to move the toggle toward the on position. If you find one like this, assuming the kitchen circuit isn't marked, flip to off, then back to on. If none of this works, go buy a new toaster oven (assuming it doesn't work in an outlet in another room).
I would check the cord or the plug before anything else. Plug another appliance into the outlet if it works try bending the male plugs on the cord slightly and try again. If this doesnt work call the man.

Thank you gentleman, but the first thing I checked was the outlet. After poking around inside (I know you're not suppose to do this) I determined that the timer switch was defective. I checked with the Farbarware manufacture and it doesn't look like parts are available. THatsahellofadeal!
