Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS.
Hasn't it been used for a while? Sometimes they will stick because of oil build up, which goes sticky and over time rancid. Put the waffle make on and heat it up. It should release. If it is the type with a catch, spray the catch with Easy Off Oven Cleaner and clean with a plastic pot brush.

It is removed from the inside, it is the screw that holds the element to the head unit. I would say you can't get in because of sticky grease or perhaps a tab. Pry the edge up.
The reset can trip if there is a short circuit or the unit is over-heating. Either condition is dangerous. Unless you can locate the problem, for safety reasons suggest replace the entire unit with a new one.
Kudos to the person(s) that identified the safety switch on the housing. Mine would not turn on because the switch would not depress, perhaps the plastic insertion piece on the frame was a little off. I tried wedging aluminum foil and plastic etc, but if you don't depress the black button in the middle of that white shroud on the switch exactly right, it won't work.
My solution was to permanently attach a 1/2 inch deck screw thru the housing so that the screw tip keeps the switch depressed always.
Turn the unit on its left side, use a very small bit to make a pilot for your screw. Very carefully and slowly screw down until the tip activates the switch. I don't believe there is a circuit board or anything in the vicinity, and I left mine plugged in so I would know when I hit paydirt. Caveat emptor and good luck!
Don't know which model you have but I have the DF-280. I had the same issue many people are having (my unit would not power on). The power cord is fine as I've confirmed this with a digital voltmeter. Turns out this particular unit has a safety switch on the right side of the metal/plastic brain unit housing. The switch is underneath the plastic protrusion that is perpendicular (or at a right angle) to the detachable electric plug. You probably won't notice it unless you look for it. My guess is the switch became less sensitive with use and despite being properly mounted to the fryer base, the brain unit did not recognize that it is properly mounted to the fryer base and therefore would not turn on.
The easiest fix for this is to stuff a small piece of paper towel slightly into the slit where the switch is activated and then remount the brain unit onto the fryer base. Another option is to replace the switch or buy a whole new fryer. If your switch actually was the problem, it should now turn on and work properly as mine did. Hope this helps...
Turn power off. take off bottom cover and check power is coming the the Heater coils. If no power check for blown fuse. If you have power at Heater Terminals then you need a new Coil
