I know there would be no issue with shorting in mine because the area where the power is routed through all the switches has some narrow gaps between wire that shouldn't be connected because they are for separate switches, like toaster timer versus temperature setting, and nothing is shielded. Some electronic controls can be rebuilt as well. As for the heat worries others have mentioned, I would think that if the leads going to the original timer are regular insulated wires then it should be fine, and I'm sure there are many different configurations in the hundreds of models on the market, but mine sends the normal house voltage through all the switches and stuff before augmenting the power for heating purposes so there should not be any problem with the power going through the switch. Many washer, dryer, range and dishwasher mechanical timers can be rebuilt. 5 minutes is probably a bit much for toast but by the look of the face of that model I think it could be set lower but you can still set it for longer times for other stuff like reheating pizza. Like this: If you don't know what I'm talking about. How about using a timer switch like you see in some gas station bathrooms. Then pat yourself on the back for not stooping so low as to use an on/off light switch and glue inside a toaster! As long as the OD of the bushing is smaller than the ID of the toaster frame where the knob slips thru, the knob will be perfectly usable again. Then cut the identical notches into the tip of the bushing after everything is hard, but only if necessary, since it might work as is if you have the correct length of bushing. Fit the plastic parts back together to reform the shaft fill the hollow shaft with 2 part epoxy bonding agent (why not? won't hurt), then slip the spacer bushing over the shaft, with some epoxy glue to bond it to the outer shaft surface. It should be slightly shorter than the length of the shaft. Take a steel, or even an aluminum spacer bushing with an I.D. 25" O.D., and inserts through a hole about. then beeps clock goes back to 12.00 and stops oven. Using a two part epoxy solution and filling up the hollow shaft will likely not work, but you can try it. hi have a beko odf22300x double oven just replaced fan and element on main oven then reset clock works perfectly for 20 to 30 min. On Oster toasters, the plastic know is hollow, and has two notches at the very tip. This is beyond lame! How does a thirty cent on/off light switch even begin to compare to the existing timer switch function? Suggested solution: the root cause of the problem is that the plastic shaft of the timer know has fractured, right? Ok, so the knob is no longer usable.
