Introduzione
The on/off switch goes bad; it starts by failing intermittently; sometimes you can make it work by slightly pressing it but that gets increasingly annoying. And it may stop working fully.
-
-
If the switch still works and isn't failing yet, simply try cleaning it.
-
Pry off the grey plastic on-off button to expose the head of the on/off switch.
-
Apply some electrical contact cleaner (CorrosionX or MG Chemicals Super Contact Cleaner or something similar) or, less ideally, 91% or better isopropyl alcohol to the switch.

-
-
Work the switch a bit by turning it on and off a lot (still unplugged) and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

-
If cleaning the switch doesn't restore it to full function. You'll have to disassemble the toaster oven and replace the switch (SW 15 on the circuit board).
