Re: Parts for Black & Decker Toaster Oven TRO480BS

> Anyone know where to get a replacement timer for this unit? B&D

does not have stock.

> Timer failed after a few weeks and stays on until manually turned

off.

> > > I wonder how to find out if there is a recall on this product. This

is a fire/injury hazard.

> > > Previous oven was also Black & Decker and used for 20 years. Was

still working when replaced because heating elements started to heat unevenly.

> > > I would not recommend the TRO480BS. Many problems -- those I recall

are door can't be adjusted to close evenly, letting too much air in/out on one side. Top and bottom heaters don't heat equally - have to turn toast over to brown both sides, etc.

Thanks.

Considering it is most likely manufactured in China, you may try your luck on AliExpress. Searching for "oven timer" pops up a decent lot of mechanical timer units. You'd have to check the markings on your timer for a match. And you'd need the patience for it to arrive :-)

Cheers!

The B&D TR048BS has one good feature... it's cheap. Typically about $30 when on sale. According to a few reviews that I skimmed, everything else about it is marginal. If a typical parts vendor: wants $11.29 for the timer knob, I can imagine what a replacement timer would cost. Methinks buying a replacement toaster oven might be cheaper. Or, as somone else suggested, try AliExpress. This looks like a possible:

You didn't bother to mention whether the mechanism or the contacts failed on your existing timer. If the contacts, I suggest you take it apart and clean the contacts, which might fix the problem.

Incidentally, I use a similar B&D toaster oven for reflow soldering electronics:
