The kettle should be considered unsafe for continued use. It has failed as the parts used are not suitably rated for the load they carry. The only safe option is to replace the kettle with a new one.
Indicator light is on a separate circuit than the coils that heat the kettle and water.It is unlikely you can get a replacement element to fix your issue.
The convention with fuses is up to 720 watts a 3 amp fuse should be used and above 720 watts a 13 amp fuse should be used.
To be precise you need to know the exact wattage of the kettle.
Sometimes maufacturers will fit 5 amp fuses but these are only good for a power rating of 1200 watts maximum (at 240 volts).
So as your kettle is rated at more than 1200 watts it needs a 13 amp fuse.
Okay. I took the base off the kettle (made a special screwdriver). Saw that one of the contacts was loose on its 'swage'. Used a pin punch to re-swage it. Bingo! it worked.
