    I have exactly the same problem. I tried to take apart, but the wrap-around cover seems impossible to remove. There must be some kind of trick to disassemble. Anyone know how?

Salton Model KTES8 toaster oven disassembly and repair
DISASSEMBLY
Remove two rear feet, each held by one screw.
Remove 8 screws holding back on.
Twist AC line cord grommet 90 degrees and slide off back.
Remove one screw on inside 2-1/4" from top on control side next to bell
(hard to see - hidden by wire insulation).
Remove 4 screws from bottom of wraparound case.
Push up case about 1/4" at the front to disengage locking tabs, then
gently slide back and spread sides of case, lift wraparound lip over the edge
it screws into, and then work the case towards the back until it easily
slides off.
Remove 3 knobs from right hand control panel (use flat blade of dinner
knife to gently pry on one side, then the other).
Remove screws that were hidden by knobs.
Remove two screws holding plastic control panel.
Remove 4 long screws and spacers holding circuit boards to plastic control
panel.
Remove plastic control panel.
Move circuit boards forward so they can be accessed. (be careful that after
disengaging the temperature control shaft from the circuit board that you
do not twist either the temperature control shaft or the knob shaft - they
will be reassembled by putting the shaft back into the slot.)

    You've given me hope...though I'm a little uncertain about the shorted diode. Will this involve soldering in a replacement?

  • drrm Feb 27, 2014

    Yes Wendy, soldering is required. Any electronics technician can easily do this.

My Sears Kenmore Toaster Oven KTS8BLK 238.48303 timer knob broke off and Searsparts says its discontinued, any thoughts before throw it out.
I'd say a short prayer over it if it was really important to you and your family, then without much ado, pitch it.

We just got a toastmaster deluxe oven broiler model #5242 at a yardsale without the manual.so we have a question: Does the toastmaster model toast?if so, were's the button?
No. It operates as either an oven or a broiler. But there is no mention of toasting in the manual.

Cuisinart tob-30bw,is not starting ?when i try to toast its not working
The problem is 4 capacitors on the small circuit boards inside. Three 220uf 16V and one 1uf 50v. These apprear to be going bad from internal heat drying them out and they fail. Symptoms include toast will not start when button pressed, or does start but then stops soon after. A buzz or hum heard when the Toast selection is made..(you should hear nothing until the start button is pressed) and the timer beeper no longer working. These are about $2 in parts, and easy for a good electronics person.
