How we repair your Panini Press/Contact Grill
A panini press or contact grill cooks food between two heated plates, with a floating hinge to press sandwiches or grill meats. A panini press/contact grill is usually a heating element or plate, a thermostat or temperature sensor, a timer or control board and a thermal fuse for safety. A technician tests the power path, the heating element and the safety devices, and confirms the repair costs less than replacement.
