Stuck Grill plates

I accidentally put the lower plate on the upper section and now can't get it to come off. I've tried pushing the button and tugging and wiggling, but nothing. No troubleshooting in their manual to help me. It's the Cuisinart Griddler Gourmet GRID-8 Series.

    We have done the same thing and have the same problem. Were you able to fix yours? Does anyone have any ideas?

    I am having the same problem and don't want to break it getting the grill plate off.  

  • diwhy Mar 16, 2008

    Help! We cannot get the lower plate off, because it is supposed to be on the upper half. We've tried to unjam the lock with a knife, but it just won't budge. So frustrating!

    I just contacted the cust. service dept. at Cuisinart. I'm awaiting their solution, or advice as where to send it for repair. I too, jamed the lower to the upper grill location....dumb!

What happens is that the upper post (see the back of the plates; there's a quarter inch wide post) slides into a slot not designed for it (too small). To fix, find the post. Slide a table knife in between the plate and the griddler, and twist. This should un-jam the post and free the plate.

Thanks Salexa4 ! you saved me. The key is the post he describes, and inserting the knife just to one side of it. A bit of a twist, and voila!

Amazing, Salexa4!!! This is exactly what I needed! I was getting desperate. And the tip from pmbCT is really what helped me finish the job! I kept thinking that the jam's source was at the base of the plate (where the two metal brackets are), but reading about the post, I understood the jam was happening closer to the top of the plate (in open position)!
Thanks a bunch :)

I took the throat plate off to clean my Imagine serger. When I try to put bak on it has to be pushed back down and is against a small piece, seems to be too close.

THROAT PLATES ARE HELD ON EACH SIDE WITH A SMALL PIECE OF METAL (SPRING). 1. PLACE THE PLATE AT AN ANGLE OF THE THROAT. 2. AT THE SAME TIME CAREFULLY PUSH EACH SPRING UNDER THE PLATE. 3. SLIDE THE PLATE TOWARDS THE AREA WHERE THE PLATE SHOULD FALL INTO THE LOWER POSITION.

Just bought a Bush dishwasher and can't do plates because the paddle hits them...is this normal?

In some dishwashers, you can raise or lower the upper rack to make room for taller plates or taller glasses. In others, there is no adjustment, and you're stuck - you've got to buy smaller plates!

Once the dumbell is on the base the dial will not spin so you can not pick up any weights. I can push the putton on the bottom when I am holding the unit with out any wieghts and the dial will spin but...

Try setting the handle in the plates back onto the carrier(bottom). Lightly tap on each plate that is stuck. Now push the plates down (vertically) onto the bottom carrier. Now try turning the dial (side that was stuck). It worked for me. Have my 1090 plates were stuck on the handle. Good luck

How to install rocker cover gaskets

To replace the rocker box gaskets, you'll have to remove the bolts on top of the rocker boxes to get them off. You may have to remove the fuel tank(s) and seat. You didn't tell me what year and model bike you're working on. Once you have these bolts off, you can replace the gaskets between the center and the upper parts, the inner gasket and the umbrella if your bike is equipped with them.

To replace the gaskets under the lower plate, work with one plate at the time. Remove the spark plugs and jack the rear wheel off the ground. Put the transmission in high gear and bump the engine over until the piston is at top dead center in the cylinder your working on with both vavles closed. Start by removing the three 1/4" hex head bolts and the two 1/4' socket head bolts. Then, remove the 5/16" bolts on the pushrod side of the engine. Tap the rocker shafts out and remove the rocker arms. Remove the other two 5/16" bolts. Lift the lower plate and replace the gaskets. Do not mix up the pushrods. They are usually color coded as to which position they go in.

To reinstall the lower plate, place the rocker box on top of the cylinder and start all bolts except the two 5/16" bolts on the push rod side of the engine. Put the rocker arms in place and push the shafts through them. Start the remaining two bolts. At this point, your lower rocker box plate is "floating" above the cylinder head. Tighten the four large bolts down until they are all flush with the top of the plate. Then, tighten them down 1/4 turn at the time until they are snug. Then, tighten the six smaller bolts down until they are barely snug. Torque the larger bolt to 15-18 foot pounds and the smaller bolts to 10-13 foot pounds. Wait for the tappest to bleed down to where you can turn them by hand to do the other cylinder. Do it the exact same way as you did the first one.

To install the middle and upper plates, put the center gasket and all other gaskets in place and align the plate. Install the socket head bolts in the top and torque to 100 Inch pounds.

Put the transmission in neutral and lower the bike. Reinstall the spark plugs, the tank(s) and the seat.

Good Luck
Steve

My front rocker box is leaking oil

Simple fix. Take the fuel tank off and remove the four bolts that hold the rocker box covers on. If the rocker box is leaking there, simply put a new gasket in place, carefully align the top plate and put the bolts back in. Torque them to 100 inch pounds.

If the lower rocker is leaking remove the smaller 1/4" bolts and then remove the larger 5/16 inch bolts. Remove the larger bolts a turn at a time until they are completely loose. Lift the lower rocker plate and replace the gaskets. Reposition the lower plate and align the pushrods in the rocker arms. Do not mix up the push rods, mark them if necessary. Tighten the 5/16" bolts down evenly until just seated. Then put the 1/4" bolts in. Torque the 5/16" bolts to 15-18 ft. lbs and 1/4" 10-13 ft. pounds. Reinstall the middle and upper rocker boxes and torque those bolts.

Good Luck

Leaking stroker boxes on 2001 883 hugger

I think you are referring to "rocker boxes" on your Sporty. Replace the rubber gaskets between the lower plate and the upper plate. If the lower plate is leaking, you will have to remove the lower plate with the rocker arms and the push rods.

Need replacement grill plates for a George Foreman GRP4P indoor grill

Hi joea64,

I'd contact the manufacturer (Salton, Inc.) customer service site for parts or manual. If they don't have them, they should know where to send you (though if they don't, I'd seriously wonder about the company).

Go to

http://prc.prodregister.com/prodprotect/applica/

And click on "George Foreman" (lower-right portion of the page), it redirects you to a secure webpage where you can register.

https://secure.prodregister.com/prodprotect/applica/gf.shtml

Part of the page reads:
"Call toll-free or visit our websites for assistance if you need more help.

Display says CL and ERR and beeps continually?

The same thing is happening to my model and I called the 18009373883 and there is only a one year warranty on it, so if a year has passed your out of luck. If you have a valid receipt then they will give you directions on how to send it in for repairs. Sorry.
