how to mend a waffle maker?

If your waffle maker trips the power and won’t heat, it usually means an internal short, damaged power cord, or faulty heating element/thermostat. This is a safety issue — unplug it and don’t use it again. Repair isn’t usually economical unless you’re electrically qualified, so replacement is recommended. Normal operation and safety info are in the manual here:
