    Hello, first, to be sure, check the power cable to see if there is a break somewhere, if it is ok, measure the heater in the kettle because everything indicates it. Regards

    Check if it has a thermal fuse.

    Turn the kettle upside down. Set the switch to on. Measure with an ohmmeter whether there is a transition to the external pins. If it is not there, you have to take the kettle apart and check the heater and thermostat (I bet on the thermostat). Greetings.

    If you have already done everything, you have to disassemble the kettle and measure the heating element itself. If it's okay, you have a damaged thermal switch.

Topic summary

The user reports that their electric kettle has stopped functioning, with the indicator diode off and no heating occurring despite previously working fine. Responses suggest several diagnostic steps: checking the power cable for breaks, measuring the heater, inspecting for a thermal fuse, and examining the kettle's contacts. Further advice includes turning the kettle upside down to measure continuity with an ohmmeter and potentially disassembling the kettle to check the heating element and thermostat, with a focus on the thermostat as a likely failure point.
