Step 2

              Remove the bottom

  • Once removed the plastic cover comes right off.

Step 4

              Test the fuse
  • With ohm meter connected either way the fuse is open. A sure sign that the part is bad.

Step 5

              Verify the new fuse
  • Testing the new fuse shows that electricity can flow through it.
  • I purchased 5x of SF188E 192 10A/250V SEFUSE on ebay. You can just search for whatever is written on the side of yours.

Step 6

              Replace the fuse
  • Replace the fuse. The black band is down in this picture.
  • The difficult part is that this part is not soldered in, it is held together with a crimp band.
  • So one must slowly open the band and then crimp it back on the new fuse.
  • I really have no good way of doing this, and it is the most time consuming and frustrating part of the whole repair. Take your time with a pick and pliers and slowly open them and replace the fuse.

Step 7

              Put all back together
  • Now just slide the fiberglass sleeve back over the fuse.
  • Reattach the spring clip to hold the fuse on the heat element.
  • Make sure that the clip is directly over the fuse before tightening.
  • Replace the plastic cover and install the three tri-wing screws.

Мне нравится этот чайник мне его подарили но проблема у нас электричество на 220 вольт. Вопрос как эго переделать на 220.

я не думаю, что это будет иметь значение для предохранителя. плавкий предохранитель рассчитан на 250 в, так что это может быть тот же предохранитель в 220 чайника.

я хотел бы посмотреть на предохранитель и посмотреть, если вы можете прочитать его. тогда просто заменить с тем же.

These steps worked fine for me. They are clear and concise. On Step 6, rather than trying to pry the crimp bands off, I cut them off and used new bands that came with the new fuse - much quicker.
