3 minutes Do not throw away the broken kettle, repair it and use it
The three-minute electric kettles that are commonly used by people are destroyed in months and paper
There are a lot of things that are sold at old prices at old shops.
After this repair, I have been using it for almost 2 years now. It is safer than the original new one.
Most kettles have a power supply. I owe electricity from the circle below. The small copper terminal plates installed in that place are very thin and if used for a long time, they will be damaged by the heat and the two stumps will no longer touch, and will not be able to conduct electricity or boil water.
Damn, it would be good if a new path for power supply was created and installed. (Because most of the pots have lost the place for the light to enter from the bottom), if you think more carefully, if the AVO meter and the heating coil from the bottom indicate that the heating coil is supported, then the coil is good.
“How to fix”
1. Buy the anti-socket (must be enamel) used in red curry pots from Thailand for 500/- at electrical stores.
2. Remove the three screws at the bottom of the kettle and open it. You will see two wires that supply power to the circuit (blue and red), just remove these two wires with a pair of pliers. Figure (2)
3. Take the ceramic piece from the purchased socket and place it on the bottom side of the hot water bottle where the wire is within reach. (On the other side is the pilot lamp).
4. If you don’t have a hole puncher to make a hole in the bottom, heat the iron point/scaber as described and make a hole in the bottom of the hot water bottle. Figure (3)
5. When installing the ceramic head of the socket slot, make sure that the two stumps that will receive electricity do not touch each other.
6.After that, if you install the 2 wires that were removed first in the newly seated ceramic socket and put the three screws from the bottom back in order, you will have a good pot that can hold hot water. Picture (5)
7. The wire that will be used is the wire that connects to the red of the Thai curry fryer. If you have one at home, you don’t need to buy it again. If you buy it, you have to pay around 1500/- kyat.
You can disconnect the wires from the old socket and rewire the socket. The socket socket must be ceramic.
The kettle is about 900 watts, so the slots must be installed properly. If you don’t touch it, there will be electrical sparks and it may be dangerous.
If you fix it, you can’t look back for 2 years.
