My bosch kettle twk 86 has just gone bang and there was no water leak so could you please tell me what the problem is.

If your Bosch electric kettle is leaking and stopping before reaching boiling point, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check for Obvious Leaks: Examine the kettle for any visible cracks, holes, or signs of damage. Ensure that the water isn't leaking from the base or any seams. If you find any leaks, it's likely that the kettle needs to be replaced, as repairing leaks can be challenging and may compromise safety.
2. Inspect the Power Base: Examine the power base of the kettle to ensure that there are no electrical issues. Make sure the power cord is securely connected and that there are no exposed wires.
3. Check Water Level and Boil-Dry Protection: Ensure that you are filling the kettle with an appropriate amount of water. Some electric kettles have a minimum and maximum water level indicator. Additionally, many kettles are equipped with a boil-dry protection feature, which automatically turns off the kettle if it detects insufficient water. Make sure you are not accidentally triggering this safety feature.
4. Descale the Kettle: Mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside the kettle and affect its performance. Descaling the kettle can help improve efficiency and prevent issues. You can use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to descale the kettle. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for descaling.
5. Contact Customer Support: If the issues persist, and your kettle is still under warranty, contact Bosch's customer support or the retailer where you purchased the kettle. They may provide guidance on troubleshooting or offer a replacement if the product is defective.
6. Consider Professional Repair: If the kettle is no longer under warranty and you cannot resolve the issues yourself, you might consider taking it to a professional appliance repair service. They can assess the problem and determine if it's worth repairing.

• Remember to prioritize safety when dealing with electrical appliances. If you are unsure about any troubleshooting steps or if the issues persist, it's always best to consult with the manufacturer or a qualified professional for assistance.

look its probably broken or some wires under the kettle cover are damaged so you can buy a new cover and then everything will be okay (Y)

A common cause is the calcium, or some other minerals in the water eventually ate through the bottom of the tank. You will need a new tank, or better... A new kettle.

Why would anything else fail because the kettle seal has gone? They are generally ok aren't they?

hello,

The solution to this question is YES.

while because if the lens could not read any h20(water)in it then element will not respond to the power supply .

Good lock and thanks for using fixya.

hello,

the chemical taste of smell from your kettle means that the element in the kettle which provide heat to boiled the water has gone bad due to over heating

this occur when there is shortage of water level in the kettle when the power supply is on

to fix up this problem of smell and chemical taste in your boiled water you will have to make a change of the element (heater)because it has gone bad you can get a replacement of it in the store .

thank you and thanks for using fixya.

sounds like there's water in the element. Empty it out and let it dry out completely for a few days, and then try it again.
If the element is a concealed element (ie- you can't see the coils when you open the lid up) then there's probably a water leak into the sealed compartment.
Contact the manufacturer for a recommended repairer.

Check the obvious, 13amp fuse, if intact connect a multimeter switched to ohms across the live and nuetral pins of the plug (not plugged into mains) the reading should be between 0.05 ohms and 1.5 ohms if higher the element has burnned out or the over temperature sensor has activated. to determine which you will need to open up the bottom of the kettle and expose the wiring. using the above multimeter with the same settings locate the heating element this will have two terminals protruding from the water compartment thes will have eithe screw or spade connections, connect the multimeter across these two terminals and check for the readings above if correct the problem is the over temperature sensor if not then the problem is the heating element. the over temperature sensor will be a circular disk with two terminals clamped to the underside of the water compartment.

you just go to your authorised dealers.they will replace .
