Soldato
I have had this kettle for just over 4 years now, but in recent weeks, it has stopped working properly.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LA4BPXQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A25ZILSVS15GW5&psc=1
Sometimes, it refuses to start boiling when I flick the switch. But most of the time, it starts, then turns itself off mid-boil and then restarts and carries on normally. Once, it blew the fuse in its plug mid-boil; I replaced the fuse and that hasn't happened again since (or the fuse blowing could have been a coincidence). I don't know what's wrong as a result - could be a dodgy connection?
It's descaled regularly and there is minimal limescale buildup inside.
I've taken it apart, but frankly, my knowledge of electrics is limited, so not sure what to check for in terms of finding out what's wrong. No evidence of loose wires or disconnections/failed welds.
Any advice, other than to get a new one? I don't like buying new things unless it could be reasonably repaired.
