The manufacturers don’t fix this problem , it’s worse in London hard water area..limescale..get only 2 years max before have to clean these metal discs. They don’t want a kettle that doesn’t break..imagine how many kettles go to recycle…
I have fixed by spraying Servisol 10 electrical contact spray into switch area and it fixes it but it makes a bang sound first time retry it so don’t do what I do kids..I may try spray white vinegar next
Yes I lived near Heathrow for 20 years I know about limescale!
Stuff is not made to last long at all but partly it is driven by consumers wanting cheap commodities or not being able to afford quality.
I'm assuming you're kidding about vinegar!
@@leelovesnature no I wasn’t kidding .white vinegar dissolves limescale. I buy in bulk from Amazon now as during and after Covid it was hard to get . I couldn’t be bothered to fix as other half just bought another new kettle on offer at Argos. Same type Russell Hobbs Brita filter kettle .2 years warranty and it will probably break just after 2 years. I may try to fix by taking apart as I sprayed white vinegar and also Servisol 10 into gap where switch is but didn’t do anything.Need to dismantle but they use tri-screws and I don’t have that type of tool screwdriver. I think I was able to use small normal one before to open it up. Annoying they use these weird screws. If anyone reads this , which kettles don’t break?
he's right, replace plastic pin with m2 bolt and nut.
Sounds like a plan!
no it does not come off straight away, what about the switch?? How do I undo that to get base off, eh???
The switch on my kettle was not connected to the base in any way. It's part of the mechanism inside. Sorry if yours is different. There are many different designs. Good luck.
Bro just buy a new one $10
I understand your sentiment. £15 maybe here in Scotland. I'm trying to save the planet by fixing things. But tbh I also enjoy seeing how things work and get pleasure in fixing things without spending much. I'm intrigued why you watched this type of video considering your advice to me.
