George Foreman Grill Top Plate Not Heating, Part 2 - Repair

[@herrwarmduscher5204]

All of my GF grills have gone bad within a few months after buying them. I will try to replicate your fix. Thanks for posting.

[@jaykay18]

You're welcome. If the top part doesn't heat, it's likely a bad wire. Imagine if these were quality made and the wire wouldn't break, they'd never sell as many as they did.

@@jaykay18 It's almost like the cheapest materials were chosen on purpose to make the item disposable to encourage buying a new machine every few months or years.

@@herrwarmduscher5204 You are 1000% correct on that.

Thanks so much! Really helpful with my attempt to repair my grill! Btw your Rocko's Modern Life shirt is fabulous!

[@jaykay18]

You're very welcome! I have gotten so many compliments on that shirt. I definitely need to wear it again!

The higher resistance of the aluminum wire versus copper just adds to the heating effect. Only the finest of chinesium.

[@jaykay18]

Ha ha! Very true!

@@jaykay18 well mine had those special screws which are similar to a tork driver but have a pin in center...since i did not have that type of driver i ended up buying another one..was $18..and imo better design than last one...its cooking up a chicken quarter perfect...thanks

[@jaykay18]

@@roadstar499 That's called a security torx screw. Bits are easy to find for it. Harbor Freight Tools, big box stores, and home improvement centers likely sell bit sets that include them. I have a whole variety of different bits here for just about anything that comes across my workbench.

[@roadstar499]

@@jaykay18 yes, maybe one day i will buy a set..thanks

Nice Video be my luck if I tried to fix it it would blow up.

[@jaykay18]

Thanks. I've blown myself up plenty so I'm not worried about it. Either that or I know what I'm doing, I forget which!

[@jaykay18]

Well said!

Yes hello unrelated news to spread if you were not made aware, you won the 81 belt drive.

[@jaykay18]

I'm well aware.

[@johnl2613]

Fucking piece of crap I have the same problem. Checked everywhere except inside the hinges. I had an older one before and that one was an easy fix. Just throw the crap out and get another one.

[@jaykay18]

Sure, there goes $50. This repair was FREE.

[@PeakyBlinder]

What is this sorda you keep talking about.

[@jaykay18]

Here in the US it's pronounced "SAH-der", and that's why I've been saying. In other countries, they may say "SOL-der".
