Hi roanoke dave,
You clearly have a defective unit (not the kind of "hot" you want),
and I'd recommend going to the customer service number below and
getting a new unit. I've called them, it takes awhile to get through,
but they did try to help. The automated phone attendant will also offer
an email address you can use for priority service (24-hour response if
I recall).
It shouldn't matter if you're in-warranty or not,
what they sold you is downright hazardous. Call them on it. If they
don't want to cooperate, see my note below.

If for some reason they don't want to help, it's time to contact the

and "light 'em up" (Salton, Inc) for putting out a defective (and potentially
dangerous) product on the public.

It wasn't the element or the overload fuse. But when we opened it up a wire was off. I don't think we would have opened it up other wise. Thanks

I have a George Foreman grill model number GRP4PVT. I have owned it approx 4 months and have only used twice. It worked the first two times but when I tried to use it the other day it would not work. I plug it in and the "---" displays, I press the ON button and the "---" still display. It never goes to flashing "300" as the instruction book indicates it should. I had a smaller George Foreman that I used without problem for several years but purchased this one because the trays were removable and it was larger. Unfortunately I gave the small one to Good Will so now I am without a grill, and it appears may be out the $ as well since I did not save the receipt or warranty. (I am just not that organized plus I trusted it would work as well as the old one.)
The bottom tray does not seem to fit in very securely. I see there is a small button that seems like it would indent when the bottom tray is inserted. Is that potentially the problem? Is there a reset button? The instruction booklet is not much help.
Any suggestions for getting it to work or where I should go from here?
same machine 10042, faulty thermostat (variable), cannot seem to be able to find one
Would I be able to purchase the burner element at a local retailer or do I have to order it?
