How we repair your Cuisinart Panini Grill
A panini grill is a ridged press grill with a heavy top plate used to toast and mark sandwiches, often built for countertop cafe use. A panini 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.
