It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.

I classify this as a repair.

    This should be a service. And some fancy EU regulation banning ones you can’t mute.

      Luckily this is a pretty simple thing to diy, at least for a kettle.

      If anyone wants to repeat this, but doesn’t know how:

      • Unscrew the bottom (if the screws are different, keep track of which goes where)
      • Locate the beeper and…
        • Remove it with a soldering iron
        • Cut its legs off with some kind of clipper
        • If you have neither, wiggle it until the legs break, or carefully rip it off the board

        Will it still work even though there’s no longer a connection across where the beeper used to be? Got a toaster that beeps so high that even our cat gets freaked out

        keep track of which goes where

        Is it a legit repair if you don’t have some parts left over after reassembling? 🤔

          I don’t think piezo buzzers are exactly resistive loads, or that cutting speakers would break appliances either way. My kettle works the same as before, just less annoying.

            Fair enough. It’s just in my mind that anytime I see one of these posts they always replace the component with a resistor, so I was wondering why this post didn’t. But that makes sense, so thanks!

      They’d mumble something about safety I bet, I’m on team remove the beeper however.
