    • Unscrew 3 Torx T8 at the bottom of the kettle

    • take 3 big flat screwdriver to 3 of the 6 holes and gently apply pressure directed to the middle to unlock the bottom cover

    • in parallel: with a 3rd screwdriver lift the cover by help of the occuring slit at the side

    • bottom cover should be revomed with gently force

    Bottom cover was removed without any problem

    My one have 11 holes. That made it difficult. Ended up using 6 screwdrivers to gett the jobb done. After getting the cover off. I observed that only half of them hade a hock that needed me to use a screwdriver. The two closest to the handle have hocks. Then it's every other.

    • take a small screwdriver

    • push the black cover around the kettle over the transparent 'litre scale"

    • make it at both side of the kettle

    • pull the black cattle carefulle to the bottom of the kettle

    • stop, when you can see the full electric carrying unit (see also next step)

    • Unscrew the two Torx T8 to open the electric carrying unit to a half

    • unlock carefully the white rectacgular clip to release the black cover completely

    It was really hard to find this rectagular grip. It is right in the middle. But I took off the black cover without unlocking it anyway, used some force, but better dont do it.

    Visumservice Russia - Réponse

    Same for me. Ended up using force. Wasn't a problem. But better not if you can help it.

    • Lift the electric unit

    • change the two marked capacitors by unsoldering the old ones

    • yellow 'MKP X2 0.47μF / 275V'

    • black '470μF / 16V' - check polarity: white stripe of the minus has to be located near the yellow capacitor!

    Achtung, die Bezeichnung X2 ist hier essentiell wichtig ! Es handelt sich um sogenannte selbstheilende Kondensatoren mit spezieller Spezifikation.

    • Assemble the kettle in reverse manner and check at the end that you don't have any parts over

    • ENJOY YOUR WORKING KETTLE!

    • Now it should heat up to 100°C and make 'beep' at the end again

    My "Keep warm" button did not work, but this mostly to poor assembly :) anyway it is not used usually.

0,75 €, 20 minutes - It work´s! Thank you!

peterlpj - Réponse

Thanks for your feedback. 20 minutes was quite fast - great!

My one is now working for more than one year after repair without any problems. We will see, how long until next repair ;-)

Great guide, I'm going to try this out soon, as our kettle quits at 80 degrees and just powers down completely. Might be helpful to list the symptoms that these faulty capacitors leads to somewhere early on. If not in the header, then at least at the top of the page.

Dear RG! You made me hero in the eyes of my wife and saved lots of money as I will never buy ordinary kettle without a temperature choice. THANKS FOR THE FANTASTIC GIUDE!

Two notes: (1) It should be mentioned that the MKP X2 0.47μF / 275V capacitor is usually the faulty one. The posts on the German site to which you linked reported that it looses capacity until the power is no longer enough to power the 80 degree LED when it comes on. In my case, similar to the reports from the German site, the remaining capacity had been lower than 0.14μF---clearly not enough. (2) One apparently does not have to use the 26.5 x 8.5 x 17 mm version that was part of the kettle initially, I had an old X2 capacitor from a broken power supply with the same parameters but with a size of 18 x 10 x 16 mm and that worked just fine after I had extended the short connecting wires.

A third note: this kettle is also known to leak after a while due to the deposits that collect from repeatedly heating up hard water (lots of minerals). Follow steps 1--4 of this guide, then push the heat plate out by gently pushing from the inside out, remove and clean the sealing ring, also clean the inside of the kettle, then put the seal back to where it came from, and push the whole heat plate assembly back into the device (orient it such that the cables on the bottom are in the right position). Then reassemble. This information is also from the linked German sites, and it worked like a charm!

Dream come true, kettle works again. Thanks

Thank you for this great guide

It works again properly, thank you for sharing!

Did the capacitor change year ago. Today it started leaking after first proper descaling (ever). Desassembled it, there is a seal between the metallic base plate and the round plastic sides. Could be that the seal has lost some of the flexibility during the years, but also cleaning might have done the trick. I had bought a new one already, but I’m sure this coud have been repaired still, either cleaning the seal or changing it. After disassembly I can say that this was a well engineered product.

Great. I fixed it. The 'MKP X2 0.47μF / 275V was demaged.

Torsten Moche - Réponse

Meanwhile I had to throw away my kettle (at least donated some parts of it) thanks to another broken part - the transparent side plastic was cracked, it was very porous and had a hole. It was definitively the material itself, either because of the temperature or maybe some UV aging through the window? I dont know - but it could not be fixed unfortunately :-( Bad by design, Mr. Philips?!

Robert - Réponse

I have a problem with the kettle. I already replaced the MKP X2 0.47μF / 275V capacitor but the problem remains. The kettle keeps shutting down and I must turn it on repeatedly until it reaches 60°C. After reaching that temperature, it works normally. Need help.

And what is about replacing the 470μF / 16V as well as stated in the instructions? (Placing your e-mail here would probably only results in spam…)

Robert -

1000 Dank für die tolle Anleitung. Zum Glück gibt es bei uns in der Nähe noch ein kleines gut sortiertes Geschäft für Elektronikbauteile" :-) Nach der "Investition" von €1,30 und einer Bastelzeit von ca. zwei Stunden läuft das Gerät nun wieder.
