If your kettle breaks, don’t rush to throw it away. I’ll show you how to fix it in 1 minute (note to men)
I decided to read on the Internet what could have happened. I came across one useful video (many thanks to the author).
I did the following:
- I disconnected the kettle from the mains.
- I turned the stand over and found a small hole in the middle.
- Using a knife, I picked at the contact group (the metal pieces inside) and heard a characteristic click. This meant that the metal pieces inside were in place.
I turned on the kettle – it worked! HURRAY!
I don’t know if it was some kind of fuse or protective mechanism that worked, or maybe the contacts just got bent. I read a lot of comments online from people with a similar problem.
I can imagine how many people threw out their teapots because of this or paid money for repairs. Although it is easy and simple to do yourself!
