Three years ago I bought @juliette an electric kettle for her birthday (because romance is not dead).
Looking for a stainless tank, hidden heating element, and temperature settings, I found the Krups KE07. Bit expensive, but it'll last decades. Right? Button 1 broke after a year. Button 2 today..
Thread in three parts
1. How it broke
2. Why I think you should not buy a Krups / Tefal appliance
3. How to fix it with a 3D printed part

@Pepijn @juliette almost all electric kettles we buy break within the 2 year warranty period, so I've taken to just saving the receipt and getting a refund whenever it happens. Three times so far.
It's part planned obsolescence and part the extremely hard water in these parts, I think.
Taking suggestions for a good electric kettle which makes it unnecessary, though.
