I have the same problem with my machine and I've tried to fix it before it stops but no success. It seems you would have to brake the 3 rivets in the pan in order to have access to something inside. the problem will be to put new rivet that have the teflon protection against rust. My conclusion is I have to buy a new pan. If you live in the US they are available on the web at B&D web site for 29.95$. Unfortunately I don't live in the US so I'm still looking for one in Canada.
