George Foreman Grill That Does Not Heat Up?

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. 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.

My grill is on a pedestal. I bought it from someone and it worked the first time. I tried to use it the other day and the red light comes on but it does not get hot.

One of the prongs is crooked. Could that be the reason it is not heating or should I just throw it away.

Check your local Goodwill store for a replacement but find out if they have a half price sale day when everything is on sale. These stores usually have tons of these.

I have the same problem. Even ordered a brand new heating element which had no effect. I used to like this brand but now will settle for stovetop grills.

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.
