The timer dial gets stuck repeatedly, resulting in very burnt toast that I have to rescue before a fire happens. I have not tried to fix it. This problem occurs now every time I use the toaster.

Oven has three modes: 1) oven mode cycles elements on and off to maintain a specific temp setting for up to 60 min. 2) toast should keep all elements on for a few min. 3) broil mode top elements only always on, up to 60 min. Make sure you have dials in correct position and use the toast timer.

Make sure you take pictures and mark what screws go where. (very important) ! After you take it all apart, the motor is housed inside the plastic case. This motor makes the ladder go up and down. There are 2 gears on the outside of the case. 1 large gear and 1 smaller gear. If you look closely at the smaller gear you will see that the gear is split. The split will appear in the valley between 2 gear teeth. Because of the split, the shaft end will spin and the small gear may spin for a second, but the gear will stop spinning. (small gear is toast) You won't notice it unless you get really close ! Good luck finding that gear. I haven't found that gear yet. Hope this helps !

Timer dials are easy to replace if you can find the part. Start with the manufacturer, but if that doesn't work trying Googling it. Any timer switch that will fit will work. It's just a simple switch.

One nut to hold it to the casing and two wires to connect it. It usually doesn't matter which wire goes where, but note their order when you take out the old one (take a cell phone photo) just to be sure.

Unfortunatly this a very popular problem with the timers and the only solution is to replace the timer knob complete.
Their are in ebay, very good price and they wll arive to you in a couple of days.

Interesting why the timer motor blew the breaker. with this size, less than 1/20 hp, the winding would have easily burnt out. You must have this circuit already load to the max. At this point, I would say that the motor is toast. you can get the guts (motor and switches combined) online from intermatic or order it from your local electrical supply distributor.

The only fix is to replace the timer.

You can visit LG's site here and pick your region, then your country.

Then look in the red strip near the center top for the Service Centers link.

They may sell parts in case you or a friend want to do it yourself, but if not, they certainly can do the repair for you.

If it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty, I would think.

all electrical parts get their signals from the timer assembly. the timer operates of a small motor much like a motor from an ac electric clock. inside the mechanical timer are contacts which make and break according to a preset timer cam which advances throughout the timed cycle. if a contact is burnt or burnt off that function will not operate. if there is a mechanical hangup inside, the timer will not function. replacing the timer can be expensive at about $130. the timer schematic of a washer can be very confusing because certain functions happen the same time as others, while others are actually open. the timer cams and how they are connected appear on the timer open/closed chart. not much help I know but I've pulled many a hair out of my head troubleshooting a maytag.
