No info -generic answer - bad thermo switch
You didn't write the model, so I'll give general information.
Most self stopping kettles have a bi-metal piece, generally in the handle or top part, which, when boiling, gets one side of the metal to expand more than the other, causing it to bend and mechanically turn off the switch. <br>
There are many causes that it can stop working- iron fatigue, corrosion, jammed switch etc that can make it stop working. In general, it <strong>wouldn't</strong> be financially worthwhile to repair it, however many people still use them when they stay in the room, since they still do a decent job of boiling the water quickly. Typically they have a safety, so the thermo-fuse will shut it before a fire starts- on your own risk.<
It's usually not so expensive to get a new one, so I'd go for using it temporarily til you get around to getting a new one!

There isn't a part available, cuisinart are horrible for parts, hence I will never buy anything from that company again.
SOURCE: kettle does not automatically shut off
I think that standards require an auto-shutoff on electric pots to keep the component from softening down. You could override the shutoff by either taping over the switch or utilizing an elastic band. You can check deep details on electric kettle review sites.
