My kettle is acting very strange. Most of the time the light in the on/off button is on, but the kettle is not heating the water. Sometimes, if I leave the kettle in the base it suddenly starts boiling. Every now and then the temperature indicators starts blinking in random order. In all the kettle has become completely unreliable to the extent were I'm suspecting it is undergoing a transformation to a higher form of being ;) Could this also be the capacitors going crazy, or should I look in a different direction?

Regards Anders

Two days ago the on/off button of my kettle stopped working. The other two buttons (temperature set and keep warm) work regularly, i.e. the leds turn on and change according to pressures. But the main button cannot start the kettle anymore.

Could this be due to the button itself, rather than some component on the internal board?

Thanks in advance,

Paolo
