1. Elements Shut Off During Cooking
There are two sets of Quartz Heating Elements in the toaster oven. One set is on the bottom and set it on top of the oven. Sometimes it happens that one set is not working and another set is doing the whole cooking. But the next situation is shutting of the elements fully. In this type of instance,s it’s possible that the element has faded or has a shorted wire, and may need to be replaced.
2. Elements Don't Glow Evenly
According to the manuals of the toaster oven, it is not necessary that the glow of the heating element indicates its level of heat. So if an element glows at different brightness intensities, don’t worry it’s likely still functioning normally. A properly working element glows at various strengths of brightness and generating consistent heat across the entire chamber – this is important.
3. Can't Clean Elements If Dirty
Cleaning the Quartz Heating Element can damage it; so, unfortunately, you can’t clean a Quartz Element. It is extremely fragile and breaks easily. You must leave food there if food spills on the element and allow it to bake off over time with additional oven use.

Make sure that you are not using an oven that has cracked heating element as it can start an oven fire. And immediately go for the replacement of the element. Try to keep food on a baking sheet, broiling pan or shelf, avoid keeping it directly on an element.

To your toaster oven, a heating element is vital. A high resistance wire that glows as electricity flows through it - is the main functionality of the heating element. Heating Elements, then, are easy to test. Here's how:
- 1. By touching a continuity tester or multi-tester probe to each end of the element, make sure whether there is a clear path for electric current or not
- 2. Remove the Heating Element if there is no clear path. By unscrewing both ends remove the element. The replace of the element depending on the how it is to remove as well as the price of the oven.
