Repairing a George Foreman Grill

You might have a short in it. My experience has been that it is cheaper to get another one at a thrift store or yard sale than to fix that one.

In order to fix or repair this, you'll need the replacement parts. This sounds like an electrical short in your unit. I'm not sure if they do or don't sell the replacement units. Your best bet is to visit the website for George Foreman and check out what type of replacement parts they have. This is a great company and they are so willing to help anyone out. You can even contact their customer service to ask them to help you locate the right part to fix your grill. They will answer you almost immediately and they are always happy to help out.

Are you talking about the electric indoor/outdoor kettle type grill on a stand? That's what I have and the bottom of the grill is not supposed to get hot and only the grill plate itself is supposed to get hot. That's why it's safe to use indoors and outdoors. Even the lid doesn't get so hot that it will burn you like regular outdoor grills would if you accidently touch it. This also gives you the option to remove the kettle from the stand and use the kettle on a countertop or tabletop inside or outside if you want to.

We have the G-5 grill (the red one with changeable plates. The same thing happened. My husband carefully took the bottom section apart and found that one of the contacts had slipped out of it's socket. He pushed it back in, reassembled it and it works great. It's happened a couple of other times and he's fixed it this way every time.

My George Foreman manual states it has a two-year warranty. For parts you can call 1-800-738-0245.

I am on my 3rd George Foreman Grill. I still have the first one but the teflon coating came off. I simply line the grill with foil, top and bottom, spray the foil with Pam and grill away. Works fine (got that idea on this website!) The second grill lost a heating unit on one side. Too difficult for me to replace so I pitched it. Someone picked it up at the curb. The 3rd one is relatively new and working fine but it doesn't have the timer option so I only use it occasionally. Good luck.

I found the best way to get immediate attention, and if the company is on Facebook, write to them on Facebook. It worked for me! How quickly I got a message from someone at the company, and the problem was resolved. Be truthful in your statement, but make it strong! It works!

I see tons of George Forman grills every time I go the the Goodwill. Might be a great way to get replacements.

Same here, go to the 2nd had stores, they always have them & they aren't very expensive!

I have George foreman grill and I let someone use it they damaged the Teflon coating on it, can I repair this by myself and how?

The plug has a hidden screw behind the 'QC checked' sticker in the middle

Cut the plug off and fit a new one

Suggest you contact the company directly to answer your question correctly.

How do you repair the formane roaster it wont heat up at the bottom!#!

LIGHTS WORK, DOES NOT GET HOT

COUNT DOWN WORKS?

If you have the grill completely open, you will notice 2 screw holes at the bottom of the top grill plate. 1 of mine was missing and I took the 1 screw out to find another 1 that matched for the other side. Once I replaced the 1 that was missing my lid no longer falls down.

I haven't researched this, but I think that if a non-stick surface is peeling, it is time to toss the machine. You may be able to replace the grills, but you would have to check with the manufacturer. If the grill looks fine, and just seems to have lost its non-stick properties, it maybe possible to do something with it. I am not sure what sort of non-stick surface we are talking about.
