I have to repair a kettle soon at a free-fix session called a "Repair Cafe" for there are several held in the many village halls throughout the county, so your video is spot-on for detail - thank you.
You saved me from buying a kettle I don't need. Your video made me brave enough to open the kettle base that stopped working due to me lifting it up to pour the boiled water too soon before the switch turned itself off. I don't have your electrical tools but just with a screw driver to open it, I could see the catch that lifts the switch came loose (one of the "handle" came off the slot). Popped back in, and voila!!! You made my day! Thank you so much!
Brilliant. My kettle switch is failing, I look after my stuff and it seems a terrible waste to throw away an apparently perfect kettle. I now have the confidence to fault find. I've got a Fluke multimeter, I'll get contact cleaner and silicone grease, these will come in useful for this and future projects. I'll check out your other videos. Thank you. subscribed.
Excellent! You have great debugging skills coupled with concise presentation/video technique. Keep it up. Now on to figuring out how to get my handle off of my kettle model.
I just fixed an expensive Smeg kettle and based on what I see in your video and what I saw in the Smeg. Smeg used very cheap material and parts inside. I paid $180 for it. Your kettle prob cost $30 and it has better quality parts. I am amazed how manufacturers skimp on quality. They are dirt bags. All of them. Noone makes quality anymore, not even the high end brands. They're all rubbish. Sad but true
I agree...I've become so frustrated going through 3 in 4 years. I finally realized they all have the same plastic around the heating element that all end up melting and ruining the whole kettle. I don't understand why how it is a tea kettle that costs me 140$ has the same cheap heating element set up and design as the 12$ electric tea kettle. I thought with a more spendy brand they'd at least utilize a little bit of theyre $$$ profits on a better safer design,( perhaps not plastic)on theyre product that cant become a fire hazard for theyre customers. Guess that's how they know you'll keep having to buy another one. Granted I do use my kettles nearly all day long everyday, but that's acually why I justified spending more on a quality kettle.
I love this video given that I sell alot of customer return kettles due to cost/time issues normally sell as repairs if it aint working depending on the brand or just throw away. I would definitely dedicate time to fault finding the high-end kettles that I get like Smeg, Haden, Dualit etc
video is very good. Ty. This looks easy, I thought. My kettle stopped working one day. I can do this, and I did, I took apart my kettle and put it back together thinking the switch was stuck.. only to find out that here I was plugging the wrong cord in all my wall. I was plugging in my coffee grinder thinking I was plugging in the kettle and wondering why it wasnt working. ( appliances hiding the cord views so I cuddnt actually see what I was plugging in) Only when I had the kettle apart and put back together did I realize my mistake.
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. My kettle is different, but the base component is similar, and the plastic pad where the contact is screwed on was slightly deformed by heat and it couldn't touch the other contact that's lifted by the ceramic pin. I bent it a little bit and problem solved.

Thx! I fixed my Philips kettle with your advise, the bottom piece was little bit different, but the mechanism is same!
Came looking for help so thanks. Mine boils over despite handle switch swithing off. Have to hang around to switch off at GPO. Have confidence now to check out. thank you 🙏
Excellent! I have also repaired our kettle. Although the kettle model we have, does not allowing to further open the thermostat, but I got the idea how to clean and adjust the spring contact.Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this video. I would have figured it out eventually but, given that I was looking to do this repair because I couldn't make coffee, it probably would have taken me a lot longer. The design of my kettle was slightly different but it helped me trace the issue which seems to have been carbon buildup and possibly also needing more tension on one of the contacts. I wonder if the carbon is from arcing on the rare times I pick up or set down the kettle with the switch ON? I normally have it off before lifting or placing the kettle on the base but I think it's fair to say I forget at least once a month which would make 60 or more times where the contacts are energized when they come together rather than being in contact and then energized.
Nice video! However, with the similar kettle selling for $12 USD, it's more cost effective for me just to buy a new one. The contact cleaner alone probably cost more than that :)
Hi your video is brilliantly explained, I have a similar kettle the metal pin inside two rings seems loose do you know what is the purpose of the pin and how it is attached to the removable element? will appreciate any advise
I also have the same pin question. The metal pin inside my USA Hamilton Beach 40870 Stainless Steel 10-Cup Electric Kettle is also somewhat loose. Sometimes, if I wiggle it or move it, them my Tea Kettle will work for just the one time! So I have had to be messing with it each time. Now, even thae wiggling of that pin no longer works. This has been an excellent tea Kettle for a few years, up until my husband just started to use it 2 weeks ago! Hummm. 😉
The conductor that connects the inner ring to the neutral lead burned out on mine. I feel smarter troubleshooting with you. Can I get the part with the rings to purchase by itself?
Thanks. Mine now works fine, it boils and turns off. But the problem is my test pen lights when I test it on the metal case of the kettle while it is heating up water. I unplugged and I run continuity test between the plug and the metal case, there is no continuity. So I am confused why my test pen lights when I test it on the metal case of the kettle while it is heating up water. Can you enlighten me?
Sir the heating coil shows Continuvity in Multimere. I think that the coil is correct. But it shows numbers and return to ooo reading in meter. Not showing oms numers .Is this element faulty? . Can we change new one?
The best and most informative video I have seen. Very detailed - Thank You
Straighforward and easy to follow with excellent explanations !
Wow that was very specific and detailed. Wish every instructional video was like this. Thank you!

Well done video. Thank you!
Much appreciated by an ageing DIYer! Thank you.🙂 I have a feeling I've used your info before....so a bit of a bible!!👍
That's good teaching, I have the same kettle. I am going to explore this, wish me luck. Thank you for the upload.
It is fixed, just like your video at about 11:00, my contact spring came off because of the screw was loose. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for your excellent video and clear instructions. 🙂
So- did you fix your kettle?
@@karenlee6013 unfortunately no. But I was happy that I had a try. We couldn't get past the security screws.
Very well explained. Very exhaustive. Thanks.
Good explanation. Complete and in a short video.....
Excellent and informative video....well done...
Thank you so much for the video! I repaired my Cosori kettle!
Thanks a lot, another kettle saved

Best Methodist explanation

Perfect! Absolutely amaizing

👍Thanks for this video.
Nice video! However, with the similar kettle selling for $12 USD, it's more cost effective for me just to buy a new one. The contact cleaner alone probably cost more than that :)
The same method will work for $200 kettles also. But yeah it all depends how much your time is worth or if you like tinkering.
Great video, thank you!
thanks a lot! great video and explanation
Thank you so much❤
Good explanation.
Brilliant Thanks... Crystal Clear
Well explained.

Super excellent video but what is the center for?
Well presented 👏
Blimey, after watching this, I'm off to buy a new kettle!!
Call me lazy.
Thank you sir
I got the 3 screws out, and the one on the handle, but I can't get it loose from the glass can. Maybe they glued it together?
Sir RESISTOR OHMS IN LIGHTS?
I'm surprised that there isn't a fuse for over current in this thing. interesting
Thats great❤
If you cannot afford a voltmeter to test this, you can also use an Buzzer, or an L.E.D to test if it is conductive
The conductor that connects the inner ring to the neutral lead burned out on mine. I feel smarter troubleshooting with you. Can I get the part with the rings to purchase by itself?

I have a broken cattle that looks like that. I plan on fixing it, I just need to buy an ohm meter. I hope the cattle will work
Cost you more for the ohm meter than the kettle
Please help me, how do I replace the
Glass. The glass got broken
Sir the heating coil shows Continuvity in Multimere. I think that the coil is correct. But it shows numbers and return to ooo reading in meter. Not showing oms numers .Is this element faulty? . Can we change new one?
My heating element is not showing ant reading, so infinite resistance. What could have caused that? There doesn't seems to be any physical damage
Great video, but you didn't check whether the wire connected to the neutral was conducting from the switch to the ring or not
i want show how i can put the ring back when i woz opening it follen down
Hello Sir!what do you think is the problem if a kettle has turned on but all the light indicator are on but kettle doesn't heat up?
What is the center for?
In my kettle the light gets ON when u switch the kettle on. But water does NOT boil. How to set that right ???
Same as mine.
Planned obsolence, it has expired. Buy new one.
I have the exact same problem. 2.5 years old. EU warranty is 2 years, haha.
@@rtyzxc Me too! I bought it 25 april 2020 (2 years, 5months). SENCOR was the brand, made in China.
help and open that switch inside is a metal ring
So a cordless kettle that does not turn off is due to the two inner contacts being carbonized. Clean them well with sandpaper.
