The kettle in the illustration is designed for a hob and doesn't have a switch...
There is an electric version available at what I consider a grossly inflated price of £218 in the UK.
Like many other appliances, kettles used to be easily and cheaply repaired by any handy person but the arrival of the jug kettle and then the dreaded disc element made repairs more expensive than a replacement and they became a throw away item, especially as spare parts stopped being standard items and for most models either weren't available or were available but were priced not to sell.
I have little doubt the kettle will have to be at least partly dismantled to discover the problem.
I would like to know there are spare parts available for this kettle before I started taking it apart because plastic can be an unreliable material after regularly being heated for a while and the process of dismantling a mass produced item isn't always intuitive.
It might be better to contact the manufacturer to check if they offer a repair service.
