- Corrective Measure: Adjust function, temperature and timer settings as required.
-
Symptom: Skewer not rotating.
- Possible Defect: Oversize food.
- Procedure: Check food size and any parts touching the housing.

-
Symptom: LCD display not backlit.
- Possible Defect: Standby mode, backlight LED.
- Procedure: Press any button to activate screen and backlight.
- Corrective Measure: Nothing to correct. If screen display is okay, check LED and replace if needed.
Toaster Oven Parts
- Parts and components may vary by brand, model, and features.
Toaster Oven Function Modes
- Bake: Procedures are the same as the roast function. Refer to the appliance's instruction manual.
- Roast: Do not use a roast larger than 5lb. on the spit. Only the upper heating elements are used during this function. Chicken should be bound to prevent legs or wings from separating and to allow the rotisserie assembly to rotate smoothly. Use a meat thermometer to check the roasting progress. Refer to the appliance's instruction manual.
- Rotisserie: Procedures are the same as the bake function. Refer to the appliance's instruction manual.
-
Keep Warm: After 30 minutes, food may become dry and start to spoil.
- Place the broil rack on the oven rails and turn the TEMP control knob to 180°F.
- Turn the FUNCTION control knob to WARM.
- Place cooked food on the broil rack and turn the TIME control knob to STAY ON or to the required time.
- The POWER indicator will turn on.
- When the time is set, the bell will ring, indicating the cycle is finished, and the POWER indicator turns off.
- Remove the food and switch the appliance to the off position.
- Always wear oven mittens when placing or removing items from the appliance. Use caution when sliding the broil rack in and out of the appliance.
Electronic Timer Circuit
- The circuit operates by alternating between two transistors, causing an alternating light effect.
- The LED will switch ON again after a set time period.
Receiving a Toaster Oven for Maintain/Repair
-
Procedure:
- Conduct an initial interview with the owner to understand the problem.
- Recognize the problem or complaint.
- Conduct an initial inspection of the appliance, including its physical appearance, operating controls, and other parts.
- Take notes of the information gathered and observed.
- Accomplish the Maintain and Repair Form.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
- OHS is focused on protecting the safety, health, and welfare of those working with electronic devices and appliances.
- The goal is to promote a safe working environment.
- Accessories and jewelry are not allowed when working with electronic devices and appliances.
- All potential workplace hazards must be identified and controlled.
- All workplaces should be kept clear of obstacles.
- Any hazards must be recorded and documented.
Component Replacement
- Determine the description of the values and ratings of defective parts using the manufacturer's service manual.
- Identify the source of replacement parts:
- Original replacement components from original factory sources.
- Universal replacement components from independent factory sources.
- Consider the physical size of the replacement part.
- Factors to consider when selecting parts:
- Quality: Ability to provide exact specifications of the replacement part.
- Tolerance: Ability to provide exact value or acceptable parameters of the replacement parts.
- Availability: Local access to parts and availability.
- Price: Affordability of the replacement parts.
- Disconnect or remove properly the electrical/mechanical parts of a toaster oven.
- Install correctly the replacement parts/components.
- Secure a schematic diagram or service manual if possible.
- Double check the testing procedure in suspected defective components, both on and off the circuit.
- Check nearby components for possible damage.
- Consider the original orientation/connection of the components when replacing defective ones.
- Observe safety at all times.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Conduct a quick diagnosis of the trouble symptom and repair the defective set in the shortest possible time.
- Trace the fault from the mechanical section or electrical circuit section.
- Do not remove ICs from the PCB. Secure a circuit diagram from the manufacturer to help identify and analyze the function of the IC.
- Consider the pin out of the IC.
- Prior to pre-testing, consider voltage measurement on components first before removing them.
- If the measured voltage is normal, the component might be the cause of the problem.
- If the measured voltage is not normal, the preceding circuit/components might be the cause.
- If the trouble symptom is caused by aging components, the defective component is usually one of them. However, in high-power-handling circuits, a defective component may cause other components to malfunction.
- Be familiar with the usual defects of components (e.g., capacitors usually become leaky, shorted or open; resistors increase their resistance when they become defective; semiconductors, such as transistors, usually become open or shorted).
- Don't replace an opened fuse or burned resistor unless you have corrected the trouble.
- Check the mechanical switch circuit for faulty contact before assuming defective electronic components.
Tools and Materials Required
- A variety of tools are essential for maintaining and repairing a toaster oven, including:
- Soldering Iron with stand
- Soldering Lead
- Desoldering Tool
- Diagonal Cutting Pliers
- Long Nose Pliers
- Wire stripper
- Adjustable Plier
- Philip Screwdriver
- Flathead Screwdriver
- Combination Wrench
- Multitester/Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM)
- Utility knife
- Cable Tie
- ESD Wrist Strap
- Mask
- Non-Static Brush
- It is crucial to use soldering irons with the proper power rating to prevent overheating and damage to components and the circuit board.
Operation and Parts
- The toaster oven is an electric appliance used for various purposes such as toasting, baking, broiling, and roasting.
- Key components include:
- Door Handle
- Glass Door
- Lower Door Frame
- Temperature Control Knob
- Power Indicator
- Function Control Knob
- Timer Knob
- Power Cord
- Housing
- Griddle
- Griddle Cover
- Griddle Cover Handle
- Wire/ Broil/ Cooking Rack
- Bake/Roasting Pan

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Follow these steps for regular maintenance:
- Turn off the toaster oven and unplug it before any maintenance tasks.
- Apply lubricant to mechanical parts that require lubrication.
- Clean and check cooling louvers for obstructions.
- Clean or wipe dust and foreign particles from the PC Board and motor.
- Replace worn or frayed AC cords and electrical wires.
- Clean the toaster oven after every use to prolong its lifespan:
- Switch off, unplug and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the oven.
- Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap solution on a sponge.
- Remove the crumb tray, clean it, and replace it.
- Do not immerse the oven in water.
Basic Concept of Electronic Control
- Timers are used in electronic appliances for various purposes, including the auto shut-off function for safety.
- Transistors, capacitors, resistors, and LEDs are basic components used in timer circuits.
- The timer circuit can be powered by a battery, and the switch is closed to start the timer.
- When measuring resistance in the circuit, ensure the circuit is OFF and properly discharged to prevent damage to the VOM.
Safety Precautions
- Use proper tools and soldering aids when troubleshooting PCB.
- Always ground the soldering iron while working to prevent damage to integrated circuits and transistors.
- Dry solder joints are difficult to detect, so it's important to remove components, clean leads, and re-solder properly.
- Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when working with electronic devices.
Key Considerations
- Always refer to the instruction manual for specific details and safety precautions regarding your model of toaster oven.
- Before cleaning and maintaining the appliance always unplug it and allow it to cool completely. This will help prevent accidental electric shock.
- Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products as they may damage the toaster oven's surface.
- Use a multitester to check the resistance of the circuit with the appropriate readings.
- Always wear an ESD wrist strap to prevent static discharge from damaging electronic components.
