5 Common Kettle Problems and How to Fix Them

Electric kettles are essential appliances in British households, but they can develop common issues over time. Here are the five most frequent problems and their solutions:

1. Kettle Won't Turn On

Check the power connection, fuse, and base connections. Often a loose connection is the culprit.

2. Slow Heating

Limescale buildup is usually the cause. Regular descaling with white vinegar can restore heating efficiency.

3. Automatic Shut-off Not Working

The thermostat may need cleaning or replacement. This is a safety-critical repair that requires professional attention.

4. Water Leaking

Check seals around the spout and base. Replace worn gaskets to prevent further leaking.

5. Strange Noises

Usually caused by limescale buildup. Regular maintenance and descaling will resolve most noise issues.

When to Repair vs. Replace Small Appliances

Making the right decision between repairing and replacing appliances requires careful consideration of several factors:

Age of the Appliance

If the appliance is less than half its expected lifespan and repair costs are under 50% of replacement cost, repair is usually worthwhile.

Cost Analysis

Compare repair costs (parts + labour) against the price of a comparable new appliance. Factor in energy efficiency improvements.

Frequency of Problems

If an appliance requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more economical in the long term.

Environmental Impact

Repairing keeps appliances out of landfills and reduces manufacturing demand for new products.
