The kettle switches on red light and everything but it doesn’t warm/heat up the water inside.No need to call a professional Technician yet,just follow this simple easy DIY steps to get your kettle working perfectly again.
STEP 1
✓ unplug the kettle from the plug.
✓ pour out water and make sure the kettle is empty.
✓ find a neat space/place to work on e.g table
STEP 2
✓ open your kettle and check the inside (the element) for physical damage.
Symptoms of bad element
* element will have blackish colour ontop.
* element will be cracked on top,you can even see the white powder-like coming out of the element.
STEP 3
✓ close the kettle and turn it on a side(put it flat on a side)
✓ there’s four screws (screws vary depending on kettle model/make)
✓ take your screwdriver and take them out.
✓ some kettles have a clip below the last two screws at the bottom,take small flat screwdriver or a flat sharp object preferably a knife to unclip it.
STEP 4
✓ open the kettle as if you are going to pour water in.You’ll see two screws on top, remove them also.
STEP 5
(only focus on the three wires going straight to the element).
✓ take the three wires out individually putting tape on each one of them just to mark them for safety (it will be easier when putting the new element).
✓ now take your screwdriver and take out the three screws holding the element (apply a little bit of pressure on the element, holding it in place with your other hand).
✓ now finally take the element out by pulling gently and take it out of the kettle straight to the nearby electronic Shop.Take it as a sample.
Well done for now another session is on the way on how to put the element back inside your kettle.
I thank you.
