Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
you havent specified where the switch becomes loose and inoperable .......it is in the plug point or the base of the unit
if it is on the mains then change the point
it it is on the base of the unit ...
then give some padding to the base where the plug is connected then
it will start working////////
i hope this suggestion will solve your problem
Does the unit shut off only before the water boils, or does it shut off and on periodically? I just fixed my friend's WK200 Braun kettle. His would shut off and on, eventually coming to a boil. During normal operation, when you press the switch, it is connected to a rod which at its other end (ie the bottom of the kettle) is able to close the circuit allowing the current to pass through the heating element. In my friend's case, the contact had become weak - I just had to slightly bend the metal pole a little bit to provide a better contact when the switch was depressed. To repair the unit, I only needed a couple of torx screwdrivers and a voltmeter to measure continuity. (note, if you bend the metal pole too much, then the circuit will always be closed even when the switch is OFF - make sure you test for an open circuit when the switch is OFF)
I have the same problem. It started about a week ago and I have to keep flicking the on switch to get it finally working. I think there's a problem with the contact with the base. Not sure if it's worth getting a replacement part for it. It worked well for 4+ yrs!
// crt_clock.c// This example prompts for how long// the program is to run and then continuously// displays the elapsed time for that period.//#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <time.h>void sleep( clock_t wait );
int main( void )

double duration;
// Delay for a specified time.
printf( "Delay for three seconds\n" );
sleep( (clock_t)3 * CLOCKS_PER_SEC );
printf( "Done!\n" );
// Measure the duration of an event.
printf( "Time to do %ld empty loops is ", i );

finish = clock();
duration = (double)(finish - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf( "%2.1f seconds\n", duration );
}
// Pauses for a specified number of milliseconds.void sleep( clock_t wait )
{
clock_t goal;
goal = wait + clock();
while( goal > clock() )
;
}
There are comercial products that will do this look for it in houseware stores, maybe some big Ace Hardware stores, maybe even at your chain grocery stores.
