The heating element in these is underneath the hot plate. The water gets to the heater through two short pieces of hose, and sometimes this hose leaks. Sometimes the connection between the hose and the heater leaks also.

depends on the wattage of your converter..if its a coffee machine, you need a larger converter that will handle the wattage needs of the coffee machine..say if its a 1200 watt unit, you easily need a 1500 watt converter..I lived in germany 3 years..our stereos were 110.. we used huge converters some in exess of 50,000 watts(huge sound system)its a math thing..usually you will need 10% more converter for the wattage size of your appliance..
