It sounds like your KitchenAid toaster oven may be experiencing a malfunction. The blinking blue light could indicate an error code or issue with the oven's control panel. Without more information about the specific model and the exact behavior of the blinking blue light, it is difficult to provide a specific solution. However, you may try unplugging the oven for a few minutes and then plugging it back in to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, it would be best to contact KitchenAid customer service for further assistance or consult the oven's user manual for troubleshooting tips.
It sounds like there may be an issue with the function control knob on your KitchenAid toaster oven. If the knob will not turn and no power light comes on, it could indicate a problem with the knob itself, or a more serious issue with the oven's internal electrical components.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the knob for any physical damage or debris that may be preventing it from turning. Clean the knob and the surrounding area if necessary.
Check the electrical connections for the knob. Make sure that the connections are securely in place and that there is no damage or corrosion.
Check the power outlet. Make sure that the outlet is working properly and that there is no issue with the circuit breaker or fuse.
If the above steps don't solve the problem, it could indicate a more serious issue with the oven's internal electrical components. It's recommended to contact the KitchenAid customer service or a professional technician for further assistance.
It's also important to check the oven's warranty status and the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that the repair or replacement will not void the warranty.
Keep in mind that troubleshooting and repairing electrical appliances can be dangerous if you are not familiar with the proper procedures. If you are not comfortable with performing the troubleshooting yourself, it's best to contact a professional technician for assistance.
I was able to replace parts on the circuit board (P/N: 128301_timer_pcb) to fix this issue on my KCO253CU Kitchenaid Toaster Oven.
R1 was visibly burned.
On further troubleshooting, ZD2 was found to be shorted.
Known Failed Parts Replaced:
R1: 47 Ohm 2 Watt resistor
ZD2: 47V Zener Diode
Other Parts Replaced
C1: 1.5 uF 400 Volt Film Capacitor
ZD1: 5.1 V Zener Diode, tested OK but replaced anyway.
See attached photo of circuit board for component part numbers.

Kitchen aid will not help, will not sell the part and will not give you a part number for ordering.
the part that goes bad is one of the 2 piggy back function switches. it gets hot from electricity and deforms the plastic causing the connection inside to fail.
I traced all the wiring and made a schematic to use for testing. Kitchen aid refused to even talk about it, so what I share is from my own experience.
By the way, I could not find this part (fz31-9) other than in china and it has a specialized cam inside and 5 connectors. there are 8 that match and not knowing witch cam, makes it very difficult to guess.
the attach diagram worked for me, but it man made and could contain errors.
I have the same problem. The part of the knob that attaches to the oven has split. I have repaired it with epoxy and will update this question if it works. I also searched KitchenAid for a new knob and they do not have one. I did locate a knob (part # AP3885089) from AppliancePartsPros.com and have ordered it. It is listed as a Whirlpool part but looks like the KitchenAid. I will update you as to the epoxy repair and the suitability of the AP38 when it arrives. Hope this was of assistance.
I too have the same KCO223 countertop toaster oven, and the toast function is not working. All other functions work fine, but the blue light won't come on in the TOAST mode setting.
Thermal fuse is a one time safety device, order by specification. My Kitchen Aid toaster oven has one on the side with the controls marked 206c for 206 degrees Celcius when it blows, and marked with a part number that when Googled was found to be 2 amp. The fuse blows in this sequence: temperature first, then if that fails the regular fuse action will kill the circuit at 2 amps. I called electronic supply places around Los Angeles. $1. 25 later I have my part. Mouser electronics carries them for .44 cents. Placed the new one on the ceramic base of the old one, and am back to using my favorite toaster oven. Will not be using it for broiling again - that is when it got hot and quit on me.
