    Can you pls give your inputs as to how to fix the blinking light problem of the same Cuisinart model? In my sandwich maker and panini press both the left as well as the right knob light start flickering at the same time and the device wouldn't heatup

The 'cooking plates' on my unit always fall off. I tried bending the tabs to make it tighter - did not help. Any ideas?
