Fellow Premature Shutoff / Inaccurate Temperature Control

Kettle heats but never reaches set temperature or shuts off early.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Misaligned NTC sensor, Scale buildup on kettle bottom, Weak thermal cutoff

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool.

Descale: Perform a full descale with a 1:1 vinegar-water solution. Rinse thoroughly.
Check lid closure: Ensure the lid is fully closed; excessive steam loss can affect temperature sensing.
Compare with thermometer: Measure water temperature with a kitchen thermometer to see if the unit is actually reaching the setpoint.
If shutoff remains early: The sensor or thermal cutoff may be out of spec and require replacement.
