How to fault trace and repair a cordless kettle

[@mikemummery5874]

The best and most informative video I have seen. Very detailed - Thank You

[@jonahbrame7874]

Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive video! Mine had both sets of contacts completely covered in carbon. A little sandpaper on both sets, and now she works beautifully again!

[@dnotard2190]

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.

[@edurman4007]

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!

[@TheMichaelj70]

Have recently retrained as an electrician Love the detail of your video

[@tsotesalted6518]

You convinced me, bro. I am just going to buy another kettle, it's too complicated for me.

[@johnny8897]

Very clear and precise, a lesson in video making and a great voice for the job...thank you Sir.

[@HanulSkyGirl]

What a great video. It was detailed and precise but very easy to follow as you went step by step. I'm gonna try this on my kettle. Thank you so much!

[@Parris240]

Your video is very explicit, thank you. I was able to fix my kettle by watching your video.

[@rajkumarponnuthurai9696]

Buddy, very systematic and logical trouble shooting!!! Keep up the good work 👏 👍 💪 👌 🙌

[@user-nt3uh8ru6s]

Wow that was very specific and detailed. Wish every instructional video was like this. Thank you!

[@oscarrox]

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.

[@Sensiblesally]

Well I don’t have any electrical tools and I’m no electrician but I’m going to open mine up and see if I can fix it. Great video. Thank you so much.

[@SlobberySlob]

Awesome video. I am a now a professor of kettle repair. Thank you!

[@jerryjaggers]

Very good. Saved me buying a new one. Wish all videos were this good

[@leonehempel9615]

[@buckfitch1198]

God bless your soul.I finally fixed our kettle

[@mrdcjohn]

you must be an instructor of some sort because you explained this perfectly. bravo dont know where i picked up that word but it always sounds good in these situations. so Bravo

[@mahbubshakil6467]

Thanks brother, step by step explain, plz more updated and shearing your tacnichian experiments.

[@aviatorman8461]

Thank you very much for your excellent step by step explanation on how to repair a water kettle!

[@ecologicaltime]

You are welcome!

[@Noaxe_Tegrinde]

Much appreciated by an ageing DIYer! Thank you.🙂 I have a feeling I've used your info before....so a bit of a bible!!👍

[@smokeysmith1282]

Great video. Thanks for all of the gritty details. You’re awesome!!!

[@sankarbiswas5945]

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.

[@pedrowerneck977]

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.

[@stemanotwiz9474]

Thanks for your excellent video ! Helped to check and repair my kettle !

[@howardchan4363]

That's good teaching, I have the same kettle. I am going to explore this, wish me luck. Thank you for the upload.

[@howardchan4363]

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.

[@maddydaniels5482]

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.

[@ecologicaltime]

that's a funny story, thanks for sharing

Thx! I fixed my Philips kettle with your advise, the bottom piece was little bit different, but the mechanism is same!

[@almason253]

Gotta love the 240v kettles. Water boils so quickly.

[@georgesmiley4680]

Great homebrew boiler elements too

[@runyanyamaka6689]

L just moved mine and now it's working thank you u are such a life saver❤

[@Kelvinbrook_101]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@Zeltroix]

Fixed my kettle thanks to you! :)

[@murryslims9695]

Thank you for sharing and it really helps understanding differents parts of the kettle and how to troubleshoot.

[@MTUMEMUSA254]

Short and precise tutorial.Grazie🙏

[@frankaddai9385]

Very detailed troubleshooting guide. Thanks

[@imumba4321]

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

[@Natalia-pq6pt]

Thank you so much for the video! I repaired my Cosori kettle!

[@Ukjsydney]

Very well explained. Very exhaustive. Thanks.

[@claudioaulong9155]

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 🙏

[@jeanettemosey1]

Thank you for your excellent video and clear instructions. 🙂

[@karenlee6013]

So- did you fix your kettle?

[@jeanettemosey1]

@@karenlee6013 unfortunately no. But I was happy that I had a try. We couldn't get past the security screws.

[@googlewreckedit]

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.

[@roybatty2030]

Brilliant video, a great teacher.

[@gemmrk]

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

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

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.

[@tsotesalted6518]

What's wrong with you, bro? 180 American dollars for a kettle? You deserve that they deceive you. They make that kind of kettles to scam the rich people. They didn't expect common people would spend that much for a kettle.

[@rangy_one]

Excellent video, very useful, thank you.

[@sashamathew1128]

So informative. Like your explanations!

[@adameve6346]

Sir Thanks to you smart understanding way to teach.

[@RyanAmero]

Yea but did it work? Afterall that's what actually matters lmao 🤦

[@rosiemaalona6794]

Wow that's doing way to much I think for me I'm better off just getting a new kettle uughh 😢 thanks anyway

[@JohnPonthecuff]

[@johnbernhard5096]

Great video.

[@maini51]

Super excellent video but what is the center for?

[@YoutubeYoutube-np9wn]

👍Thanks for this video.

[@lumay333]

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

[@ellabelle1277]

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. 😉

[@angelamacisaac1895]

This is terrific. Thank you!

[@abhinavprakash007]

Very well explained.

[@mrswannshiran64]

Great video thanks

[@toomanypockets7316]

Great video, thank you!

[@blueback21]

excellent thanks! Can you us dialectic grease instead of the thermal silicone

[@rakeshbagwandin5118]

Brilliant Thanks... Crystal Clear

[@ssennonojohnmary4406]

Good explanation.

[@taylormadevacationrental8802]

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?

[@nemnoton]

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?

[@MarkAdongo]

Very fantastic i just fixed my now But it's left with blender

[@mdmokhlesurrahaman8523]

good job sir

[@gladiator_games]

thank you very much

[@luyolomchatha1461]

😂😂😂🤭 that so easy and help full thanks again for your insight ☺️

[@PabloOlmedoJr]

Well explained.

[@babythomas2902]

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?

[@tiloalo]

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

[@IAmThe_RA]

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?

[@gd515051]

I have a Korex smart kettle. In the middle of heating it just stopped heating. Everything turns on. It says it heating. All the contacts are made. But nothing. Took apart the base and the kettle and everything looks intact. Some of the wires are 30guage or smaller braided. I’m sure the issue is inside one of those but who knows.

[@_w_w_]

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 :)

[@michaeldebruij1047]

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.

[@lohwaiseng]

sorry, i am an electronics technician, if the heating element is only 26ohms, wouldnt it cause Live and Neutral to short and trip the breaker or burn the whole circuit???

[@BrianAhumuza]

Thanks for advice

[@blaqsoundz7913]

Thank you so much❤

[@namutebiharriet-is2lk]

hw can j put back the metal ring inside the swjtch of the ketle

[@Jey187]

Great video, but you didn't check whether the wire connected to the neutral was conducting from the switch to the ring or not

[@mpirokajosephmgcokoca2355]

Well presented 👏
