Where do you find the replacement knobs?
Wish I knew! I need two knobs. Are their universal knobs out there that can be substituted?

im in same boat can't find the dials/knobs- 2 of mine are broken and useless
I have several cuisinart appliances. I won't ever buy another. I need one replacement knob, the best they can do is 20 percent off on a new griddler . I can get that from bed bath and beyond. Thanks cuisinart, finding new brands. Cuisinart is dead to me.
Same here 2 knobs broken in 2 years and no way to find a new one
My model is the 8n, but your diagram looks the same. I to can't find the replacement knobs! The machine still works fine, but the knobs have broken, and fall off the machine! Where do I find knobs? Thanks for any guidance.
Where can i buy the heating coil for the model Gr-4?
Hi to all
One does not need new knobs. If you follow the dismantling process above, you will see a metal U shaped item around the knob
shaft on the inside of the unit. If you push this U Shaped item onto the knobs from the inside, it will clamp the knob and function as new.
The only thing I did extra was to put some crazy blue on the interface between the knob and the U item, to prevent the U item
from sliding toward the inside of the unit. By the way, one has to remove just the 4 Phillips screws under the lower griddle to lift the
heating element and the supporting plate. I also put some crazy glue between the 4 standoffs and the housing to prevent them
from tipping off while re-assembling.
Finally I am using a short extension cord with SWITCH, to turn the unit on and off, to minimize future failures by not turning the
unit ON with the center knob.
Sorry Gallileo, people want to turn on a countertop grill with the knob and not use crazy glue for any appliance that heats up. Cuisinart is a big fail with this.
Thanks amazing help
I bought this unit because of the replaceable trays. I thought it would prevent it from becoming landfill trash. Boy was I wrong. Thanks cuisenfart for not offering a replacement knob. I’ll be looking at other brands. I’m tired of companies greenwashing and then not offering an easy replacement part.
Still no replacement source for knobs!
This post is so stupid. There is no need to remove the screws holding the heating element. And the posters do not tell you where to get the replacement knob from. Waste of time.
