Where can I purchase the three knobs for the TOB-30? I cleaned all the ink off of them.

OK so this is a "What if your Cuisinart TOB-260N1 Preheat No Longer Working" EXPERIENCE and not a question asking for an answer.

Looks like replacement knobs are not available from Cuisinart.
However, any 1/4" shaft knob with setscrew should work.
If you have a Radio Shack still in business near you, they are blowing them out for under a buck a knob:

Other styles and sizes are also available.
If you do not feel like looking around, here are a pair of universal knobs that should work, although they do not look the same:

Cuisinart has the manual for the TOB-165 on the Product page; it's a discontinued model. See https://www.cuisinart.com/discontinued/toaster_ovens/tob-165.html . The direct link to the instruction book is https://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/tob-165.pdf . (Note: you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read or print the manual.)

I hope this helps.

Same thing jus happened to me tonight. Already had the thing repaired because it wouldn't turn on. Booo Cuisinart!

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.

I have the identical problem. Where can I find a replacement foot?

It is roughly 17 inches across from left handle to right handle, but slightly less. About 15.25 inches from front to back.

Cuisinart has the manual on their website:

Scroll down to the link for the TOB-175.

The contacts for these toasters fail. The plasic cam that depresses the contacts also can melt. The design is poor and no replacement parts are available. When selecting a setting, if the selection is not exactly perfect, the contacts arc and eventually fail. Unless cuisinart changes the selection cam to a solid state or relay, this failure will continue to happen during normal use. If your unit works properly do not switch the function setting while heating, this will cause the contacts to arc and erode the contact surface. This posting is applicable to the TOB-30BC, TOB-30BCC and probably all TOB-30XXX models.

With mine, the toaster function stopped working. The light lit, but the relay did not click. This happened about a year ago, but then it started working again. Now that my waranty expired, it seems permanent.

The relay requires 12V, but I only measure 5V (no audible click). When I pulled the relay, the drive went up to 12V, so the coil is loading down the source. Not sure whether the problem is the coil or the source. It would be nice to find a schematic. When I put the relay across a car battery, I heard the click indicating that the relay is working.

I cleaned the contacts, and get the same result.
