Yeah, Result!
I love my Prestige automatic electric kettle as it’s the only brand, l have found that doesn’t make the water taste funny when you boil it. Other brands l have found, give the boiled water, a chemical or metallic taste.
Yesterday and today, it wouldn’t automatically switch off and steam was coming out from the automatic switch.
They don’t do this kettle anymore and l was was sad that l’d have to get a different one.
Before l rushed out to buy a new one, I decided to look online for any tips to rectify the fault.
Luckily, there was. It stated, sometimes the tube that runs down to activate the automatic switch, gets furred up. I inspected my unplugged kettle and sure enough it had a thin layer of limescale around it. I removed this and now my kettle is working perfectly again.
Result! Hail the internet!
