Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle: Kettle won’t heat, base is fine

Thu, 29 May 2025 02:23:34 -0700

Hello,

Fellow has sent me thru the normal rigamorole with descaling, and when that didn’t work, sending a replacement base. The kettle is the problem, and now they are offering to replace the kettle. But I want mine to work, I don’t want to throw another unrecyclable piece of trash into the landfills.

Does anyone know how to start investigating what’s wrong with it, or anyone else who has successfully repaired a Fellow Kettle?

Thank you!

Oster Digital Electric Kettle BVST-EK5967: How to replace a blown resistor and added conundrums?

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 13:46:56 -0700

There is a resistor or some kind of fuse soldered to the board that needs to be replaced - Has burn marks on it and will not complete a circuit when tested with an ohm meter.

Is the best option to cut it out to see if I can match it up or look for a new board?

Morrison's Morphy Richards Soup Maker Model 2164012: Why has my Morphy Richards soup makers motor stopped working?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 02:30:27 -0700

I'm not one for discarding items but after 9 months this product stopped blending. However, I'm sure it still manages to heat the temperature .

Model Number: 501015

Serial Number: 15018445

I have held on to this product in the hope I can fix it + bring it back to life. The signal is working when I plug it in at the mains. It appears the motor just won't operate as it should. I've looked inside the lid but it seems impossible to get beyond its exterior. Can you suggest if it's worth keeping hold of or not?

Thank you in advance

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle: Kettle heats water, Light not working

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 13:12:47 -0700

My kettle and base are both working, but the light is burned out, so I cannot read temperature--can I replace this? How do you open the base--I don't see any way to do so.

Aroma AWK-125S Electric Kettle

A while ago myAroma electric kettle from target stopped working- if I flip the switch the light powers on, but it does not heat the water. I'm presuming the heating element has failed- does anyone know anything about taking apart kettles and obtaining/replacing the components? Also any other ideas of what it could be- like a blown fuse that would be an easy fix? I know nothing about these kettles so at a loss here.

Tea Kettle: Whats the technical name for the silicon gasket inside the kettle?

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 01:21:34 -0700

There is a circle rubber strip that goes around the stainless steel plate which heats up. I knows its used to make it a water proof seal and support the plate but what is the actual technical name for it. I tried searching everywhere.

Tea Kettle: Hamilton Beach cordless kettle, odd screws

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 00:43:06 -0700

Our HB 40996? Cordless kettle stopped heating. I watched YouTube videos and figured it’s likely it got inadvertently boiled dry and blew its thermal fuse. But when I went to unscrew the connector on the pot’s bottom I ran into 3-point screw heads. Even my iFixit kit doesn’t have such a driver.

Beyond that, there are no other fasteners that seem to be holding the bottom of the pot to its body, so even if I could unscrew the odd screws, I’m not sure how I’d get to the heating element for testing, or the thermal fuse to replace it.

Any insight?

Philips Kettle HD4685: What were the symptoms?

Sun, 18 Nov 2018 09:07:17 -0700

What were the symptoms that made you conclude that the capacitors was the problem?

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?
