Why Electric Kettles Can Overheat
Modern electric kettles are designed with safety features that automatically shut off the appliance when the water reaches boiling temperature.
However, problems can occur when:
The kettle is operated with too little water
Electrical components become damaged
The appliance is very old or poorly maintained
Mineral buildup affects performance
The power cord or outlet has issues
These factors can increase the risk of overheating and appliance failure.
The Importance of Regular Cleaning
Many people clean the inside of their kettle but forget to inspect the outside and electrical components.
