If the screen turns on and looks like it's working but there is no heat, then the problem is the thermal fuse. It takes reassembly and a $5 replacement fuse. I replaced mine with one of the same specifications and it lasted a month. I replaced it again with one that trips at a 10 degrees higher setting and it's been good for a couple of years now.
I have the same toaster oven and it developed the same problem.
There is a thermal fuse with a 172C trip point. I replaced it with a new part and it worked fine for another week. I replaced it again with a fuse with a 192C trip point and that's been working for a couple of months now. Some pointers for replacing the fuse.
1) you need a Philips screwdriver with an 11" (30cm) shaft to get at the screws behind the control panel.
2) you only need to take off the feet and open the right side (looking at the toaster from the front).
3) The thermal fuse is in a white flexible plastic tube, held in place with a metal bracket.
4) You can pull the old fuse from the wire clamp using 2 pairs of plyers. I re-used the same clamps to connect the new fuse to the existing wires.
5) Replacement fuses can be found on EBAY for about $1.50 (includes shipping from Hong Kong)
My BOV800XL did the same thing. Of the three parts you mention the thermal fuse is by far the easiest to test and in my opinion the most likely to go out first. Check it with a meter. If you have trouble locating it read the FixYa solution for "The Breville BOV650XL will not power on." Check it for continuity like you would any fuse.
I found replacement parts at ereplacementparts.com. The thermal fuse assembly was $23 when I checked. Or you could just replace the actual fuse portion of the assembly with a comporable fuse such as http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/NTE8213. Basically you need a 216*C thermal fuse. These can be had for less than $2 plus shipping. Buy a few just in case.
I just ordered my fuses today so I can't report on the success of my repair, but I am confident the new fuse will solve the problem.
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.
My KA KCO100508B blew its thermal fuse after 3 years. I found a replacemnt close to 206 centigrade for $2.60 at Appliance Parts Warehouse near my home in Smyrna, GA. Know what to ask for when you enter APW. They don't like selling potential fire hazards to novice repairpersons!
