I just recently bought my krups kettle and last week is randomly stopped working. i tried all the different outlets in my room, which i know work because other appliances have no problems. I try to turn it on and the blue light doesnt turn on....and nothing happens. ive left it on for hours. help!

Recheck the outlets and if they are on the same circuit as the dryer then you could have a problem with the wiring . My feeling if the living room outlets were changed there should be no connection between the living room and utility room. One way of telling is to get an extension cord and hook it to your dryer and to different outlets in the house that you know is working.f there is power on the living room receptacles then plug the dryer extension into them.

Sounds like a faulty internal thermostat or it needs to be adjusted.

First check your power outlet, try connecting the TV to a different power outlet. Then see whether the LED light on the TV is on or blinking. Anyhow, this might need attention by a qualified service technician.

No! you have clearly a manufacture defect or a design issue, I would take it back and select a different brand if possible or your money back.

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?

Unfortunately it's unfixable. A few recent Philips models do it as well and it's worst in hard water areas. Basically the cause is that a tiny bit of water gets into the bottom seam each time the kettle is used and leaves a residue behind when it dries out. Over time, the residue builds up and forces the seam apart so the leak gets worse.

All you can realistically do is hope that it's still under warranty and demand that Krups replace it, preferably with a different model. If they won't then you may have to exert whichever consumer rights exist in your country, but one way or another you need to stop using your kettle (it's dangerous!) and replace it with another.

You cannot fix it when they split like that.

It's possible that he living room outlet feeds through the dining room switch and that a wire may have become disconnected when you put in the dimmer. I don't know the specifics of you home layout. If the dining room and living room are on different circuit breaker switches, this is not the problem.

Your electric kettle in drawing more current than your wall outlet's are made for. Not being able to read your current draw on your GE kettle I would guess you have a bad GE kettle and it needs to be returned to where you bought it.
