Krups tea kettle leaks

My only suggestion would be to use a two part epoxy if it is just a crack in the plastic. Seal it fromt he outside not the inside to minimize water contact with the epoxy. Or if you want to be adventurous you can heat up a piece of metal and use it to re-melt the plastic to seal it.

If it isn't plastic, then you'd have to decide if anyhing will seal it. Possibly a two part epoxy would still work.

I'd say a few years got your money's worth, and it may be time to move on. Zojirushi makes excellent electric kettles and I think many here would easily recommend them. They cost a bit more but should wear like iron.

best of luck,

I'd agree here -- maybe it's time for a new one? Where's the crack?

I personally though like the control I have over a regular electric kettle, rather than a Zojirushi, which boils and reboils water without instant control. The cost certainly is a factor as well.

Both of our Krups electric kettles leaked. We have had them for a few years. Is the problem related to a failed seal?

Where are they leaking? And why would there be a seal? Any place where there is any kind of seal or seam is suspicious.
