Step 4
- Once the malfunctioning wire has been located, begin the process of stripping the coating of the wire.

- It is important while stripping the wire, be careful not to cut the wire and only the white tubing around it.
- The wire stripper/small scissors are required for this step.

Excellent guide, thanks. My kettle simply stopped working so I easily took it apart as above (thanks to the iFixit toolkit!). The wires looked fine - almost as new - so all I did was a general clean-up of the black plastic switch and contacts, put it back together and - voila - it’s working again. Sometimes a simple disassembly and cleaning does the trick.
