I have a rival toaster oven similar to the one in the picture. I work in a cubicle area at work so everytime I turn it on the bell rings. Is there a way to turn unplug it or something so that the timer still works but the bell is silent.? Thanks Latrael
Actually I just did this and it wasn’t too hard. New basic Black and Decker toaster oven that cost $40. Took out enough screws to allow front panel to pull out about ½” on the top edge. There was a bell on the back side of the timer knob switch that I could see when I looked down inside. Seems like that is pretty standard for these contraptions. I drove a 3” screw from the top down between the bell and the switch so it’s snug. i made sure it was out of the way of other electrical contacts for the other switches/knobs. Now it just makes a sort of self-satisfied click when the timer is done. Put the screws back in and heated up some chicken nuggets without letting everyone in the neighboring studios know lunch was ready. Yay!
Most of these have a mechanical bell which is part of the windup timer. These are difficult to open and put back together. Have you looked for an electronic timer version of toaster like a Breville mini toaster. At least you could then disable to electric buzzer unit.
Dude, we are sending people to Mars soon…. 🙄 has our society become so mechanically reclined as to not stop a bell from ringing? 😉 A mechanically operating bell is easy, just lots of screws….so many screws…🤣
