Electric Kettle on/Off Switch

The secondary switch in an electric kettle—often referred to as the mechanical trip switch (the one you turn on) or auto shut-off lever—works together with the thermostat to physically disconnect power when boiling is complete (the click you hear when the kettle finishes). If It fails, the kettle might stay on even after boiling, causing overheating or the switch might trip too early, cutting off before full boil. This part is designed to work like the original and it could be the only replacement needed to get your kettle working again.
