Anyone know where to get a replacement timer for this unit? B&D does not have stock.
Timer failed after a few weeks and stays on until manually turned off.

I wonder how to find out if there is a recall on this product. This is a fire/injury hazard.

Previous oven was also Black & Decker and used for 20 years. Was still working when replaced because heating elements started to heat unevenly.

I would not recommend the TRO480BS. Many problems -- those I recall are door can't be adjusted to close evenly, letting too much air in/out on one side. Top and bottom heaters don't heat equally - have to turn toast over to brown both sides, etc.

Considering it is most likely manufactured in China, you may try your luck on
AliExpress. Searching for "oven timer" pops up a decent lot of mechanical
timer units.
You'd have to check the markings on your timer for a match.
And you'd need the patience for it to arrive :-)

Cheers!

The B&D TR048BS has one good feature... it's cheap. Typically about
$30 when on sale. According to a few reviews that I skimmed,
everything else about it is marginal. If a typical parts vendor:
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-tro480bs-toaster-oven-parts-c-4167_124449_182647.html
wants $11.29 for the timer knob, I can imagine what a replacement
timer would cost. Methinks buying a replacement toaster oven might be
cheaper. Or, as somone else suggested, try AliExpress. This looks
like a possible:

You didn't bother to mention whether the mechanism or the contacts
failed on your existing timer. If the contacts, I suggest you take it
apart and clean the contacts, which might fix the problem.

Incidentally, I use a similar B&D toaster oven for reflow soldering
electronics:
