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!

Now, if your kettle suddenly stops turning on, you know what to do!
