Introduction |
This standard electric cordless kettle would only work in certain orientations on its stand as shown in above video. | | This was due to one of the contacts in the base unit being in the wrong position. Using a small jewellers screwdriver or similar it was possible to bend the contact back (with mains disconnected of course!) so it now works. | | The fault developed after about 4years. I suspect that the insulating effect of incremental arcing damage caused the fault to get progressively worse with time. |
