"Nothing is definite now. But they do know it's not working, and they're trying to figure it out."

That's what a source tells us about how Fox and The X Factor and Simon Cowell are mulling the replacement of

UK pop singer Cheryl Cole as a judge on the show. We've learned that Fox "isn't thrilled with the chemistry"

when they saw all four judges interact together for the first time at the Los Angeles auditions and felt the weak link was Cole

She may be Britain's sweetheart but nobody knows her here, the source says. Now what to do about her contract

Cheryl Cole was dropped from the judging panel on "X-Factor" largely because producers were concerned her English accent

would be too difficult for an American audience to understand ... sources close to the production tell TMZ.

There were other issues too -- we're told Cheryl and fellow judge Paula Abdul had a "lack of chemistry" ...

and Cheryl was more expendable
