Whistling kettle switches off before it boils

[pappyon]

I have one of these automatic kettles that makes a whisting noise when it boils and then switches off.

The whistiling noise is caused when a rocker switch on the top of the kettle activates and switches the kettle off.

The problem is that 9 times out of 10, the kettle will switch off before boiling any time after it is first switched on till half-way through the boiling stage or at any stage in between and has to be switched back on manually!

Can this be rectified or is it something I will just have to live with?

Buy a new one. Sounds like the "boil sensor" is knackered.

Not worth repairing a kettle.

A descale may sort it out if you are in a hard water area

Bashing the thing will do no good, descale it.
