Need to hook up wire for the element in the kettle of my GR6A1X -XX -X

Hello,
Not sure why you think it is cable problem ? Guess you have checked the fuse ? Have you de-scaled the kettle ? Most likely scene is the element burnt out so have you access to a multi-meter, which could verify an open circuit - usually meaning that the heating element has burnt out. Sounding like a replacement kettle is needed, I'm afraid.

The wiring good the kettle is pretty simple. Black goes to x on the plug white is y and ground is the green terminal. In the kettle the black goes to one of the two terminals on the thermostat. Then a jumper wire from the other thermostat terminal goes to one of the two terminals on the element. Then the white wire goes to the other element terminal. The ground or green attaches to the metal surface inside.

You got the Heat element and or thermostat wet. Open the kettle to expose the electronics and let it dry for days. try again it might dry out.

Or you will need to replace the heat element, thermostat, and probably the wires. if it hasn't dried out by now.

sounds as if you have a lose wire in the base or else you element has failed. Undo the bottom of the kettle and check all wires are connected to the element. If all the wires are connect i would say your element has blown.

hello,

the handle has noting to do with the heater what you need to check on is the connection from the power supply if the connection is alright then you will have consider the element it is the heat provider connected to the wire it means that it is weak it need to be replace with a better one the element is in silver colour you can get it in any technical store/shop around you.

thank you

the element is avilb on the web / look under small appliances / or better yet use your model # and google it . the cost of element and shipping may be more than your pot is worth . you be the judge . i would fix it but / it may not be cost efective .. hope this hepls **** ..

there is insulation between the element and the outer kettle. This insulation can get brittle and crumble with age. I was lookiing for some parts as I have this kettle also and was told the kettle and parts are no longer available. If anyone has access to these parts please email me at [email protected]. Thank you. Gary

Yes I think they do but these may also be unavailable. You could try sourcing 'after market' replacement elements, these are universal fit elements often from the original suppliers and cheaper too. Try searching the web for Russell Hobbs replacement kettle elements.
