Fill it with vinegar and leave to soak overnight/for two nights if really bad.
Any parts which are impossible to fill with vinegar - lids/spouts, soak a cloth or tissue in vinegar and wrap/wedge into....and leave to soak overnight.

My kettle wont start. it seems the connection from the base to the kettle is not connecting. if I hold the kettle firmly down it will start but as soon as I take weight off the kettle it stops.

The contacts inside the base are carboned up and possibly misaligned. Take the base apart and clean the contacts with a nail file, check the alignment and correct if needed. Also clean the contacts on the bottom of the kettle. If you still have the same issue, open the base and inset a small piece of cork gasket material under the three contacts so they will not drop down when you put the kettle on top of the base. Don't make the cork pieces too thick or the kettle will not sit flat.

How to clean out your stovetop kettle

I've been using the same kettle on my stove for about a year and I hadn't cleaned it even once until last week.
A while ago I started noticing these weird white chucks that would come out with the water but I just figured that it was because I get a lot of use of out my kettle.
It turns out that the white chunks are actually limescale.
I did some research on it and thankfully limescale is not harmful to ingest. However, it's pretty gross to look at and I certainly wouldn't want to serve a cup of tea to a guest that is filled with strange white flakes.
So I figured out how to clean my kettle with stuff I have at home.
All you need is some regular cooking vinegar to do the descaling for you.
There is no need to buy expensive chemicals that you wouldn't feel safe using on a cooking product anyway.
Start by rinsing out your kettle with warm water.
Then, fill half of it with water and the other half with vinegar.
Place it on your stove and let it come to a rolling boil.
Then, just leave it there over night.
When you wake up in the morning, dump out the water and vinegar solution.
Take a long scrubbing brush and scrub the inside of the kettle to remove whatever limescale is left.
If there is still some caked on, you can repeat the steps over again.
If your kettle is clear of the grime, simply rinse out a number of times with soap to get rid of the vinegar taste/smell.
Voila! Your stovetop kettle is clean and no more unidentified chunks in your tea!

Scale between the kettle and the base?

I don't particularly know the model of your kettle. There are so many out there. It sounds like the tank is leaking.

Some of these cleaning and descale agents are very powerful and corrosive. The cleaning solutions you are using may have eaten through the tank of the kettle! This is what it sounds like to me.

Check the recommendations in the instruction manual for cleaning this kettle model.

How do you clean the inside of your metal kettles

if you wish to remove limescale, then you can use limescale remover either liquid or powder.
follow directions on the product of choice.

alterativly use vinager, just pour undiluted vinegar into the kettle and let it rest for a while until it no longer produces bubbles. then rince well.
if there is still limescale then repeat the process.

Note
do not let the kettle boil with vinegar or limescale remover in it. they may cause a fault and some
very bad smells.

I hope this was useful..

Kettle keeps Turning off and on.

Try descaling the kettle for about an hour with some white vinegar without heating. Hopefully the problem is caused by limescale on the thermostat/thermocouple and this will cure it. If this doesn't seem to help then probably the thermostat/thermocouple is to blame, and although easy to replace, it seems that the best way to get the right bits is an authorised tefal dealer. This link will get you the user manual for your kettle if you need it; http://www.t-fal.ca/tefal/products/product/index.asp?univers%5Fid=400&dept%5Fid=430&sku=L00056&mscssid=JXT37R7ERWKH9P2URRA8CLM0SHMF327C Also it has the contacts for tefal customer service(Canada) if you need. Hope the descaling helps, it usually does the trick :)
