My GE 168970 (this could be Wal Mart's GE No.) Toaster Oven has a burned diode in the line going from the toast/grill switch to the elements. The other diode beside it is fine. I can't see the part number. I'd love to know why there is a diode there in the first place! But mostly, I'd like to find out what the part number is (i.e., INxxxxx) so I can replace it. Secondly, I'd like to know if I can use regular solder in a small appliance, or if I need special high-temperature solder. Thanks, -al

- I'm not sure physical size & amp / voltage rating are related well enough to swap them out without some specs.... does anyone have an idea if such a diode would have to be 15A+ rated?
Just clip the diode out (pay attention to the white band around the end) take the diode to radio shack and match it's size physically.Then put it back in using regular electrical solder (rosin core) put the band on the diode facing the same way it came out

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a toaster oven under $100 that does a nice job with baking, reheating, toasting, and broiling? Because it sits on the counter, it should also look decent. Don't necessarily need a convection function, just something that is solid and will stand up to regular use.
