Rocketkiller Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ok this is starting to really creep me out. In the last few months my electric tea kettle has been turning on mysteriously. Just a few minutes ago I made tea and sat down to watch tv, I'm alone in the house and I hear water boiling, I went over to the kitchen and the the tea kettle was turned on. This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened already. I have no idea how it could just turn on because it shuts off automatically when the water's boiled, and there's no way it can turn on without physically flipping the switch. Thoughts? Experiences?

Ronnyboy Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Could be some wires that aren't sitting right that when they touch, starts up the kettle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketkiller Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Could be some wires that aren't sitting right that when they touch, starts up the kettle. But the switch is in the on position whenever it happens, and I make sure that its in the off position whenever the water's boiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exkabewbikadid Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Unplug the bitch and see if it plugs itself back in and starts boiling again. If so, get the f*ck out of there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHXC Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ours takes f*cking effort to turn on, so I'd be creeped out as f*ck if that happened. Set up a video camera for us and leave it facing your kettle. Obviously it might not happen everyday, but just do it for sh*ts n giggles. Youtube it after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machida Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 But the switch is in the on position whenever it happens, and I make sure that its in the off position whenever the water's boiled. The switch on the base that cut outs the power to the kettle will be buggered. Stick the power on at the mains- lift the kettle on and off of the base- if it stars up- there's your problem. A buggered switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what you want to do when making tea, get the water boiling? Maybe you turned it on and have Alzheimer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buggered switch. There's only a switch on the kettle itself, and it'll only turn on if that switch is on, so I can't see what you're trying to say.

Obvious enough? The water that you dont serve and still leave there gets cool, the kettle turns on, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_-=Zombie=-_ Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Unplug it. If nothing happens, you were fooled and they made you buy a f*cking broken tea kettle. If it still works, YOU WILL SH*T BRICKS... Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sananoutlaw Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The kettle is attention seeking, do you ever say 'good kettle' when you get a cup of tea from it? No. Shame on you. Soon it will turn on you & you shall run, but there's no escape from a angry kettle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
