Don't know the kettle but I'd try testing the kettle element and temp sensor? with the Ohmmeter.
Looking at the [link|https://fellowproducts.com/products/ekg-electric-kettle-base-replacement#gallery|base] for the kettle there seems to be only 3 connections that connect to the kettle.
Presumably an active lead, a return and a temp sensor? lead.
Measure between all three connections on the kettle i.e. inner conductor to 1st ring, and then 1st ring to 2nd ring (and even inner conductor to 2nd ring) and check what you get.
Also check between all leads and the metal? body of the kettle
Usually elements are between 20-50 Ohms but the temp sensors are more but they shouldn't be open circuit.
If the kettle appears to be OK then the problem is in the base

Hi @ciaranoflynn
Was the old fuse blown?
