Two big parts to this problem:
1) Where can you find a replacement element? I've been looking high and low but so far no luck in finding a source. Only possibility is to find another used toaster oven for parts. In my case, the element is 3/16" by ~10" and is wired as two elements in series, making it a 60v element.
2) The element connections are usually spot-welded. I assume regular (low temp electrical) solder, besides containing lead, might risk melting. I've read one mention of using silver solder, as you would in copper pipe fittings, but I'm not sure this would avoid melting. My guess is that it would, but that's just a guess. I can also imagine using wire wrapping to make the electrical connection and maybe this could even give a solid mechanical connection.

How to Repair Your Toaster Oven?
A toaster is a small, electric kitchen appliance that is designed to toast a different variety of bread products. Normally, a modern two-slice toaster draws between 600 and 1200 watts and can toast your bread in 1 to 3 minutes. On the other hand, non-electrical toasters can toast your bread over an open fire or flame. Toaster ovens operate similarly to toasters, but are more complex and much more expensive to purchase. So, if you have a broken toaster oven, it is good to repair it yourself to save money. Here are tips on how to repair your toaster oven. ❖ Repairing the Main Switch. The main switch of your toaster oven is the most important operating part. It is the one that gets extensive use and is frequently the reason why a toaster oven doesn’t operate normally. To prolong the life of your switch, you should clean it often, or you may have to replace the switch itself. To repair or replace the switch, remove the side panel of your toaster oven and the power cord, if needed. Second, you should check the contact points for pitting and discoloration. If they are not making the right contact, rub it using fine sandpaper. Then, clean it with either an electrical contact cleaner spray or isopropyl alcohol. Make sure not to bend the contact out of alignment. Third, if the contacts are fused, simply remove and replace the main switch. ❖ Repairing the Thermal Fuse. The main function of thermal fuse is to protect the main switch from damages caused by electrical overload. So, if the main switch doesn’t work, check the thermal fuse using a multi-tester. If the thermal fuse is defective, simply remove and replace it with a thermal fuse that has a similar rating. But, other toaster ovens may use bimetallic thermostats or thermal cutouts to protect the adjacent main switch from damages. To repair this kind of toaster oven, check the thermal cutout for debris, distortion or discoloration. Then, remove the debris away with a can of compressed air, if necessary. ❖ Repairing the Heating Element. The heating element in general is a high resistance wire that glows as electricity flows through it. To repair it, first inspect it to see if there’s a clear path for electric current by placing a multi-tester probe to each end of the element. Second, if there is no path, remove the heating element. Third, simply replace it with a heating element of identical rating and structure. However, be careful not to deform the shape of your element wires, as they are easily damaged. By following the steps above, you should be able to solve your problems with your toaster oven, without the need of a professional. This can save you from high repair costs. Good luck and enjoy your hot, fresh toast.
When you turn a toaster oven what happens to the electrical energy?
When you turn on a toaster oven, electrical energy from the outlet is converted into heat energy by the heating elements inside the oven. This heat energy is then used to cook or bake food placed inside the oven.
How can I remove the heating element from my oven?
To remove the heating element from your oven, first make sure the oven is turned off and cool. Then, locate the screws or clips holding the element in place and carefully remove them. Gently pull the element out from the back of the oven. Be cautious not to damage any wires connected to the element.
