I am still on my first oven and have had it for over four years. I bought another one for my niece. I love this oven. So far o problems.

I have had four in the last 6 years. They have lasted me a little over a year. I absolutely love this oven! But I won't pay $270 for another. I have paid $89 - $99 in the past and that's the highest I will go. I just wish B&D; started making them again. I was told some of the ovens were causing kitchen fires, so I started disconnecting mine when it wasn't in use. I really miss mine; the last one died about a month ago. Can't find a toaster oven that did all this one does. The heating elements would die on me, always just one, not both at the same time. Can't replace them either since B&D; doesn't make them anymore.

Sorry to hear you had trouble -The first one I had seemed to be very slow, but did not burn out. I bought a second unit and it much better than the first one - cooks better and actually toasts bread - I love it!

I am also on my second, unfortunately I was not able to find a place to fix it either. I do not think I will buy a third if this one goes out.

I haven't had any problems with mine. Iove it. Just wish they made the one with the with the broiler.

Lots of people here have had the problem. When it happened to me and I came on here and saw all the reviews, there was no way I was going to get a second one. I sure wouldn't get a third if I was you! I went back to a regular toaster oven and am just as happy.

This is my 2nd Black & Decker Infrawave Oven also. My first one just didn't come on one day and since I had used it so much for about four years I just thought it was time for a new one. I really don't know what was wrong. I didn't have it checked out.

I have had one & my daughter had one as well. We loved them while they worked, but after less than a year we both had to throw them out because one by one all of the elements went bad & were not replaceable. And B&D; said it was discontinued .

Google your particular oven (Hot point and Model number) and the element it uses should come up. This is a universal element, a generic. A brand specific element will be more expensive.

I found the information I needed by going to the GE website and searching in their archives. I had the same symptoms and after ordering and replacing I found the old burner had a 'blow out' in the coil preventing a complete circuit. It wasn't hard to replace, on my stove I had to open the oven door and undo a couple of screws on the stovetop lip and raise it like a car hood. I would recommend taking pictures of the old unit showing the screw locations and wire locations as this makes it easier to replace everything. The replacement part mounting hole number were off but thanks to the picture I replaced it in same location.

How long have you had it? If you are still inside the return window, that is what I suggest. I had two heating elements go out within about 6 hours of work. Returned it and got a Hakko. No regrets.

The station should have come with another replacement heating element. I would first try replacing your old heating element to see if that fixes the iron. Also make sure the tip is clean and tight in the iron. I would also change the tip out with one of the other you got with the station just to see if that makes a difference. I have had mine for two years, use it about once a week and it's still working well. Hope this was helpful to you.

i have had the toaster oven for maybe a year. just noticed while cleaning that the teflon coating on the back wall is severely peeling. can't be good for food! i toast but don't use it for broiling, so i am shocked.

Same here: both two years old and both curling up at the edges and seems to be coming apart at the edge- tripping is now a constant issue. Not near the oven.

We use our toaster oven all the time, and we have had no problem with burning -- unless I leave it in too long. Try experimenting with shorter baking times. Also, we use the convection baking all the time.

tefal offers NO REPLACENT for the heating element,other than buying a new griddle! Id seriously think about choosing tefal electric griddle CB540852 !

Sad to say, but I had the same problem within 30 days of use. Also the middle started to peel. I threw away. So this I can recommend is a skillet made of ceramic, they can with stand high heat cooking. Good luck

Chip, I had the same problem several times. I finally registered my unit on Broan's website and included my disappointment with the issue. I was contacted the next day by their customer service department with the phone # for their service department. I called them immediately, they pulled up my information and explained that they had identified the problem and it could be easily fixed with a replacement heater and fan element. The original unit did not start fast enough and would burn the thermal fuse, the new motor started faster and therefore the thermal fuse would not blow. The fuse is part of the heater element to prevent overheating. I explained to the rep that it was -7 outside and I didn't feel like going into the attic again to replace the unit. he explained that I could replace the part fromt he inside and it was a matter of 2 screws and a wire harness. It literally took me less than 1 minute to replace the part and it has worked better than the original since. My previous ones only lasted less than 2 weeks. I was very satisfied with Broan which is more than I can say about the big box store I bought it from. The # for the technical support department at 800-637-1453. That should solve the problem.

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

Hi Leticia,We've been trying to get a contact e-mail and preferably a phone number since last week. We can definitely help you get squared away, but I want to spend a few minutes troubleshooting what you're doing now so we can correct it. The oven will easily get up into hotter temperatures than you are achieving now, but that will depend upon fuel (chunkwood) selection and how you are monitoring the stone temperature. Can you contact our customer service line at 206-438-3587 so we can help you? Thanks!!

I had one that had a burned part too. Since I don't know what caused the part to burn out, I did not trust replacing the part.....just replaced the whole unit...not expensive to do that, and I trusted that more.

We just got it and have not had a chance to use it yet. Hopefully we will do so soon. I had the same question about the element/griddle, as it is heated from the toaster oven located directly below. I'll try to save your question and send you an answer.

Hi Mark,I haven't used my oven very often since I got it but I think that when I've baked something, the timer has to be turned on to activate the heating elements. Then when the timer runs out, the oven's heat shuts off. I could be incorrect but it shouldn't take much experimenting for you to find out for yourself.
