Kettle won’t heat, base is fine
Hello,
Fellow has sent me thru the normal rigamorole with descaling, and when that didn’t work, sending a replacement base. The kettle is the problem, and now they are offering to replace the kettle. But I want mine to work, I don’t want to throw another unrecyclable piece of trash into the landfills.
Does anyone know how to start investigating what’s wrong with it, or anyone else who has successfully repaired a Fellow Kettle?
Thank you!

@valentine89505 can you post some good pictures of the base and the bottom of the kettle.? Let's see how this all comes together. Do you have a multimeter and some basic hand tools, like screwdrivers etc?

Have you opened up the kettle? I know there's a fuse or maybe a diode that can go bad. Looking at how this is working may solve your issue.

I have one of these that stopped heating. I tested the thermal fuse and it was good (it has continuity), and the heating element measures about 12 ohms so it is also good. The contacts on the kettle and the base are all clean and bright. So i assume the control in the base is bad even though it powers up and shows the "Fellow" logo and then lets me set the temperature.
