Undo the 3 screws on the kettle base, part base from kettle which will still be attached to the on off switch. There is a central pin, either side are 2 copper contacts, spray contacts with "Switch Cleaner".
Reassemble kettle switch on and off a few times without using powered base to clean oxidation off contacts. Should be carried out by a competent person. Mine has worked fine since.
