Thanks for your feedback. 20 minutes was quite fast - great!

My one is now working for more than one year after repair without any problems. We will see, how long until next repair ;-)

Great guide, I'm going to try this out soon, as our kettle quits at 80 degrees and just powers down completely. Might be helpful to list the symptoms that these faulty capacitors leads to somewhere early on. If not in the header, then at least at the top of the page.

Dear RG! You made me hero in the eyes of my wife and saved lots of money as I will never buy ordinary kettle without a temperature choice. THANKS FOR THE FANTASTIC GIUDE!

Two notes: (1) It should be mentioned that the MKP X2 0.47μF / 275V capacitor is usually the faulty one. The posts on the German site to which you linked reported that it looses capacity until the power is no longer enough to power the 80 degree LED when it comes on. In my case, similar to the reports from the German site, the remaining capacity had been lower than 0.14μF---clearly not enough. (2) One apparently does not have to use the 26.5 x 8.5 x 17 mm version that was part of the kettle initially, I had an old X2 capacitor from a broken power supply with the same parameters but with a size of 18 x 10 x 16 mm and that worked just fine after I had extended the short connecting wires.
