I need a replacement seal for a Philips kettle HD4681

If the leak is under the kettle just replace it with a new one. Water and electricity are a DANGEROUS mixture. There is a VERY high risk of electrocution and of fire if you keep using this kettle. New ones are usually cheap enough for a basic kettle.

Looking for replacement lid for slow cooker

If it uses a detachable base to the kettle tank with electrical contacts, sometimes the base or kettle connector must be replaced. You will need the proper tools and wire connectors to be able to replace these parts.

Technically speaking... These are not worth servicing.

you can seal it with some sealer but it does not make sens to repair kettles

Very simply, it sounds like the element has blown. If the element is built into the base of the kettle I am afraid it is terminal, if it is a calrod type element that you can see in the kettle, it can be replaced.

I am not sure if you have a copy of the user manual for this kettle. In any case you can download it from. The figures mentioned in the decriptions are on page 158.

Now coming to the problem. The most obvious cause is the thermostat that controls the temperature is not working anymore.

But there could be other factors that could be investigated before making any conclusions.

1. Do you descale the kettle regularly - see page 13 of the manual What about the filter? is it clean.
2. Are you able to set the desired water temperature before you press the On button. Use the set temp button and see if you can change the settings - it could be stuck at a lower level and does not start the heater.
If problem is not going away after 1 or 2 above then you will have to contact the Philips service.

I presume you will have to refer to the local retailer in Canary Islands or refer to Philips in Portugal. The product may still be under warranty.

Find any parts yet? I need to replace the gasket on my Sanyo U-D22S

There is no do it yourself fix for this problem. However, placing a folded cloth on top of the kettle (covering the spout) will cause it to switch off quicker, as it increases the pressure inside the kettle.
