Top filament has burned out; does it pay to repair toaster oven or shouldit be replaced by a newer model??? We rarely use the oven and mostly use the appliance for toast. A replacement would cost less than $50

Chances are very slim your toaster oven is repairable anyway if the heating element burns out. A replacement part is not available, and there's no way to reliably repair a break. Even if it could be fixed, the low replacement cost makes it uneconomical. Parts and labor would run close to $50, maybe even exceed that price.

Unless you can find a part and do the repair yourself, small appliances today are throw-away items.

The timer knob on my homemaker convection oven model AOT-F901 broke and need a replacement. Could you and at what cost?

Simplest answer here is to contact the original manufacturer. If it is an old oven most good repair shops can find or replace the timer knob. Costs will depend on where you buy it and if you pay to have the repair done.

Thrash it.
B & D toaster ovens are not meant to be repaired because the lawyers told them there is too much risk. They won't sell you or distributors spare parts.
Sorry, but that's the intersection of our disposal and litigious society.

How to change the lower element on a delonghi AD 699 toaster oven?

Hello,

  • Preheat ovens only when necessary. With conventional ovens, keep the preheating time to a minimum. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
  • Food cooks more quickly and efficiently in ovens when air can circulate freely. Don't lay foils on racks. If possible, stagger pans on upper and lower racks to improve air flow.
  • Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25°F and cook foods just as quickly.
  • Do not open the oven door often to preview the food. Each time you open the door the oven temperature drops by 25°F. Watch the clock or use a timer instead.
  • Full-size ovens are not very efficient for cooking small- to medium-sized meals, it generally pays to use toaster ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Check to be sure the oven door gasket is tight. Adjust or replace gaskets as required.
  • If you have a self-cleaning oven, consider using the self-cleaning feature immediately after regular baking when the oven is still hot. Less energy will be required to reach the cleaning temperature. Try not to use the self-cleaning feature too often.
  • Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean; they will reflect the heat better and save energy.
  • Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air. A 6-inch pan on a 8-inch burner will waste over 40% of the energy.
  • On electric stove-tops, use only flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan will waste most of the heat.
  • When cooking with a gas range-top burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve gas. Also make sure the pilot light is burning efficiently, with a blue flame. A yellowish flame indicates an adjustment is needed because the gas is burning inefficiently.
  • Whenever possible, use a pressure cooker. By cooking food at a higher temperature and pressure, cooking time is reduced dramatically and energy use is cut by 50-75%.

  • Hope this work ..........

    Heating units bottom stopped working. Then the top heating bars stopped working. It's a radiant oven.

    it is several prosibilites for your problem:
    1) the wire of the oven is damaged;
    2) the thermostat is decalibrated or damaged;
    3) one or more heating element is intrerupted or burned.
    solution's:
    1) check the wire an replace or repair where is posible whit similar heat resistant wire;
    2) replace the thermostat whit similar one;
    3) replace the heating element

    The toaster no longer toasts..the filament is broken.

    If the filament is broken there is very little you can do other than fit a new filament.

    By the time you have bought and paid for a new filament and fitted it, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new toaster.

    In my case I found a capacitor on the 9 volt motor control board blown open. It was rated for 250 v but no mfd rating. I called the 877-207-0923 option 4 number. The GE toaster is warrantyed for 2 years. I was able to exchange it for a newer model at the same price today. The new one checks out just dandy.

    Black & Decker Toaster Oven Model TR01000-TRO4000

    I honestly believe that the burned element in my toaster oven is replaceable
    like a burned out oven element or dryed element. I thought someone would
    show me how to replace the element. That didn't happen. I am dubious
    about the need for experts via a commitment to a specialists' plan.
