HOW TO REPAIR ELECTRIC KETTLE

Chantal 52-Ounce Ekettles™Electric Kettle is a kitchen appliance that contains a heating properties used for boiling water, cook food etc. It is made up of a metal or plastic container with a handle, a hollow space where you do other boiling and cooking processes, a thermostat and an element that converts it from electrical energy to heat energy.

There are some problems we encounter when using an electric kettle in our daily basis such as water not boiling, the power is not coming UP, the switch is faulty etc.

SOLUTION

No Power Supply
Check the power socket if cable is properly plugged, make sure the power switch is pushed ON, check if the lead connector is properly pushed in. If you have a cordless kettle check if the kettle is sitting properly on its base, lastly check the power fuse and replace if possible.

Not Heating
In this situation you have to check if there is power inside the kettle then check the power switch or fuse which needs to be replaced. Sometimes the kettle does not heat up because the heating element is not longer working and has to be replaced. Sometimes the base unit is faulty and needs to be seen by a service engineer.

Leakage
Check the base of a metal kettle for holes or corrosion, especially near the folded joints between the base and the body of the kettle. Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do to fix this problem except buy a new kettle.Leaks around the kettle spout are a serious problem since most adhesives do not form a permanent seal on chromium plating or aluminium  nor are they able to withstand the high temperatures of boiling water. The only sure remedy is to buy a new kettle or a new body. If you have any other problems please shear it hear with us thanks.

  2. I checked everything on my kettle and I don't see any visible problems. I'm thinking the wiring is shot or something. I will have to go find some good wiring and ask around more about how to repair it. Thanks for the help! http://www.narduccielectricphiladephia.com/Home_Wiring_Electrical_Violations_Services_Philadelphia_PA.html

  3. My kettle broke two days ago. The lamp on ut just stopped lighting! Firstly, I thought that the trouble is in it, but then I realized that it doesn't heat at all. I followed all your tips but nothing helped. I guess I should buy new kettle. I was looking here http://electrical-components.com/kettle/siemens - so big range but I am not sure that it is profiatble to buy so expensive kettle, what do you think?

    Unfortunately the switch doesn't work. When I click on it, it doesn't stay clicked.

    Do you think it is for the different UK voltage

    Do you have any advice?

  18. I washed my HB 40941 kettle and it stopped working properly. I dried it but to no avail. It starts heating and lights up, but after 15 seconds it turns off. The keep warm buttons do work but not the main switch & boiling switch. I had a related problem a year ago, where it would heat but not boil. In that case descaling with Cream of Tartar worked. This time the descaling didn't work. I checked the electronics at the bottom and didn't find a problem. I tried to reset it but don't have the specific instructions to do it successfully. Your help would be appreciated.
