I loved this waffle maker until after only 4 or 5 uses it just stopped working. I took excellent care of it and treated it gently and cleaned it gently and returned it to its original box with packing after every use. I took it out to make waffles, plugged it in.....nothing. No lights, no heat, nothing. Just a brand new looking, shiny waffle iron that I will have to put in the dumpster. [I tried unplugging, plugging, unplugging (as suggested on another repair site) but nothing.]
