Hi. I have an Alessi mg 32 kettle. The problem is the on off switch. It keeps tripping off. Is there a part I can repair with? We love the kettle... Kind regards, John

SOURCE: sapper alessi kettle

I bought new pitch pipes for my kettle and they came with directions. The directions from Alessi say to push the old ones out from underneath (part of the whistle that rests inside the kettle when it is closed) with a flat head screw driver. When installing the new ones, they say to only use your finger to push them in from the top, using only the eraser end of a pencil if you need to push with something. Mine were very loose, however. Also, the side with M1 or S1 etched into the brass part of the whistle should go lettered-end down into the brass tubes.

SOURCE: Plug in, nothing happens...

This usually happens when the overheat-cutout is activated (for example after turning on the kettle with little or no water).
Look on the bottom or sides of the kettle for any 'reset' like switches or buttons. Usually this consists of a 'hole' in which you have to insert a paperclip or pen.

Have you tried using it on a different socket outlet ? Possibly there is a problem with the wiring at this socket.
If the electricity supply "trips" at the consumer unit it is either the RCD which trips due to e.g. the base of the kettle becoming wet or alternatively the MCB tripping due to an overload which shouldn't happen unless there is a fault in the kettle.
When you got a replacement kettle presumably they replaced the base also?

Alessi Plisse' kettle model MDL06 B/UK - purchased end July 2021. No longer working, tripping circuit if plugged in

Everything can be repaired if you throw enough cash at it.
Probably cheaper to purchase a new one if it has overheated and damaged the element.

Alessi kettle: The switch doesn’t budge, so I can’t turn it on.

The kettle in the illustration is designed for a hob and doesn't have a switch...

There is an electric version available at what I consider a grossly inflated price of £218 in the UK.

Like many other appliances, kettles used to be easily and cheaply repaired by any handy person but the arrival of the jug kettle and then the dreaded disc element made repairs more expensive than a replacement and they became a throw away item, especially as spare parts stopped being standard items and for most models either weren't available or were available but were priced not to sell.

I have little doubt the kettle will have to be at least partly dismantled to discover the problem.

I would like to know there are spare parts available for this kettle
before I started taking it apart because plastic can be an unreliable material after regularly being heated for a while and the process of dismantling a mass produced item isn't always intuitive.

It might be better to contact the manufacturer to check if they offer a repair service.

How do you remove the pitch pipes?

Don't you love the sound of the Sapper Kettle?

Alessi refers to these as the E & B Pitch Pipes. Over time, impurities in the tap water corrode the internal reed whistle, and always the low pitched one first. Here's a tip: Once replaced, avoid overfilling the kettle to the top, causing boiling and water to spill though the pipes. The water might contain impurities, but the steam doesn't. This should help keep the pipes in working order for many years. We've had our Sapper kettle for 30 years.

I have found the best way to remove the old whistles is with the thick end of a Chop Stick. The soft wood worn't scratch the metal. Insert chopstick from the bottom and tap to drive them up and out from the top.

I get my replacement Pitch Pipes at the San Francisco Alessi store: Part 12701. Cost: approximately $16. (415) 434-0403 [email protected]

Hope this helps.

MG32 Cordless Electric Kettle: Power light shows on my kettle but water does not...

sounds like there's water in the element. Empty it out and let it dry out completely for a few days, and then try it again.
If the element is a concealed element (ie- you can't see the coils when you open the lid up) then there's probably a water leak into the sealed compartment.
Contact the manufacturer for a recommended repairer.
