Cuisinart TOA-60FR Troubleshooting

When attempting to turn on the Toaster Oven, there is no response.

Lots of times when the toaster oven will not power on, it is a simple fix, and it is due to the power cord’s connection to the outlet. Check if the toaster oven is appropriately plugged in and if there is no visible damage to the cord.

• If there is visible damage, the power cord may need replacing.
• If there is no visible damage, attempt plugging it into other outlets to see if the issue is your outlet.

If there is no response when turning on the toaster oven, there is a good chance that the power switch is the issue. Remove the side panel and look for poor or dirty contact points on the switch.

• If the contact points are dirty, you must clean them with sandpaper and cleaning alcohol.
• If the contact points are damaged, the whole switch needs replacing. Look here for instructions.

If the toaster oven is powering off soon after turning on, then there is a chance that the thermal fuse is blown. Locate the thermal fuse and check to see if it is operational; if not, it will need replacing. Look here for instructions.

The light of the toaster will not turn on or will be very dim, causing difficulty seeing into the oven.

Circuitry or soldering within the device may be defective or incomplete.

The light-bulb may need to be replaced.

Smoke coming from the device during use.

Old Food may be burning within the device.

The toaster oven turns on but will not heat anything up.

This toaster oven comes with a tray to catch the crumbs and other things that are often left behind in the toaster oven. If that is with your toaster oven, this is a simple fix: empty the tray, unplug the toaster oven, and do a deep clean. This seems simple, but it is very important to keep the heating element intact.

Sometimes one loose wire can affect the whole toaster oven. Check to see if any of the wires are loose or have come undone. If so, tighten the wires, and as soon as you plug the toaster oven back into the outlet, it should be right back to normal.

After cleaning and checking for loose wires, it may be the heating element. Therefore, remove the old heating element and replace it with a new one.

When the oven is on, the timer will not begin.

Check if the oven is fully plugged into the outlet. Make sure your outlet has enough power supply for the oven.

Try and turn your knob. See if the knob is too tight (won't turn) or too loose (will turn but the oven doesn't recognize it's turning).
