Examine the power cord for any visible damage or frays. If you notice any, the cord may need to be replaced. If the cord looks fine, move on to the next step.
Clean the Heating Element:
Mineral buildup from hard water is a common culprit in kettle failures. Boil a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar, and pour it into the kettle. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This should help remove any scale blocking the heating element.
Check the Switch:
Sometimes, the switch may become stuck or dirty. Try gently pressing it a few times or cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Test It Out:
Plug the kettle back in and test it. If it heats up properly, you’ve likely solved the problem! If not, you may need to consider more in-depth repairs or replacing it.
Tips:
Regularly clean your kettle to prevent mineral buildup.
Use filtered water to extend the life of your kettle.
If the kettle is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
