Replacement handles are not availble, fro bella cucina waffle makers, ( they are too CHEEP to provice replacement parts) they want your to buy a NEW waffle maker.

check the wirings from the controls,check the fuse/termal fuse and check the heating fillament make sure it is not brocken or open..

I had the same problem, so I contacted their customer service at (866) 832-4843.
I was informed they don't replace that part anymore.

Sorry!
