Why doesn’t my toaster work when I turn the knob on?

This could be a number of things. Inspect the cord for any cuts or exposed wiresIf the cord is damaged it should be replaced before anything elseMake sure that it is plugged in and that the outlet it is being plugged into is workingIt can be checked by plugging in something that you know works into the same outlet and turning it onIf the outlet is not working, then that is probably the reason the oven will not work Damaged Controls which can be replaced here:Black and Decker TO1303SB Heat Controls Replacement Damaged internal wiring (This is very unlikely unless the oven has been taken apart since it left the factory) Worn out heating elements or timer.Unfortunately these can not be replaced because they contain welded connections
