Pavan for a Dead Panini Maker

h
My krups Panini  Maker (the FDE312-75 to be exact) died yesterday and I have passed quickly from denial and guilt to reach reached the third stage of grief: ANGER.  For starters, a known component issue renders this unit useless. Something that should be easy to fix (like a fuse) isn't.  Really people, do we need more dead electronics?  Here's the fix, but I can't get the screw unlocked.  Bad Krups.  Very BAD Krups. Thanks to epinion for a clear description of the problem.  This is why we love the internet.
