Hello all! Hope you are healthy and safe! I have a George Foreman grill, GRP4842. When I plug it in, it lights up. But pressing power does nothing. Zip, zilch, nada. Have tried pressing the other buttons as well. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Your first step is to check your power outlet and make sure the grill power cord is plugged in tightly and that it is attached to the grill. Push on this and make sure that you have it pushed in all the way. A lot of time if you have other appliances on the same outlet this will not allow the grill to turn on or even power up. Try removing all other appliances from the outlet and check again. You can try to plug in a lamp to the same outlet as the grill. Turn on the lamp and now plug in the grill. See if the lamp dims when you try and power on the grill. If this happen then the outlet is not getting enough power to run this grill correctly. If this is not happening it can be the plug for the grill or even the grill itself that has the issue. If this is the case you can try to buy a new power cord for the grill or take the grill to a repair shop and have it tested.
You may have to take it apart to replace the button but you should have an experienced person help with this.
If you have a Sears service center in your area (and they are still open) I would suggest you take it to their service department and ask for help. Ask if they can tell you what part to buy and do not leave it to be serviced if they do not help you.

I am having a problem with my George Foreman Grill GRP4842RB. When I try to turn on the grill it automatically shuts off, especially if I put it on sears (500F). Can it be repaired?
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.
My children bought us a large George Foreman grill for Christmas a few years ago and I just tried it out. Low and behold the bottom of the grill does not heat up. It barely gets warm. What can I do to resolve this problem?

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.

I have a Lean Mean Grilling Machine. I've had it for a few years. I don't use it much, but the non-stick has been coming of for some time now and food has been sticking as of late. In addition the lower plate no longer heats up. I like the machine, but must repair it. If I remember correctly these machines had a lifetime warranty. Am I correct? If not where do I get parts for it?

My George Foreman manual states it has a two-year warranty. For parts you can call 1-800-738-0245.
To keep the food from sticking while it's cooking, try spraying it with a cooking spray such as Pam before placing the food in it.
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.
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!
The top plastic housing came apart from the grill on my George Foreman.
Our large George Foreman doesn't work. I plug it and nothing happens. It won't turn on.
We have a George Foreman grill that has just decided to stop working. I've tried to change the fuse, but am unable to as the plug can't be opened. I've unscrewed the screws, but the plug can't be separated.
I want to check the fuse before I consider buying another one.
Can anyone advise?
I have a George Foreman Grilling Machine model #GR18BWR, S/N #0223. Can I repair the non-stick surface of a 7 year old unit?

Also, they send out two recipes every day, with healthy recipes on Friday.
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.
What are the electrical components in the George Foreman GR30 grill?
My George Forman Model #GR2144 won't get hot. What should I do?

I have a George Foreman GR35SBTMR grill. It will not get hot; the lights and the on/off switch work, so does the temperature gauge.

The top grilling plate on my model GRP99 keeps falling down. It never seems to lock tight in place. Can the grips be disassembled for repairs? Any solutions appreciated.
