Krups tea kettle leaks
We've been using a Krups electric tea kettle (model #856) for
a few years and it has been great, but it recently developed a small leak. Does anyone know whether this can be fixed?...or should we just get a new kettle? Thanks. |

Thanks. My only suggestion would be to use a two part epoxy if it is just a crack in the plastic. Seal it fromt he outside not the inside to minimize water contact with the epoxy. Or if you want to be adventurous you can heat up a piece of metal and use it to re-melt the plastic to seal it. If it isn't plastic, then you'd have to decide if anyhing will seal it. Possibly a two part epoxy would still work. I'd say a few years got your money's worth, and it may be time to move on. Zojirushi makes excellent electric kettles and I think many here would easily recommend them. They cost a bit more but should wear like iron. best of luck, - Dominic |

I personally though like the control I have over a regular electric kettle, rather than a Zojirushi, which boils and reboils water without instant control. The cost certainly is a factor as well.

Thanks. Both of our Krups electric kettles leaked. We have had them for a few years. Is the problem related to a failed seal? |

Any place where there is any kind of seal or seam is suspicious. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
