Product: Electric Kettle Thermostat Switch (top-of-handle steam-switch design) What it does Precise temperature control: regulates the kettle heating circuit so water reaches the correct temperature for tea, coffee, or other hot beverages instead of overheating or underheating. Safety and durability: built from high-temperature–resistant materials and flame-retardant plastic to maintain reliable operation under repeated use. Key benefits — why you need it Restores accurate heating: replaces a faulty thermostat switch to bring back consistent water temperature and reliable auto-shutoff behavior. Increases safety: flame-retardant construction and materials designed to withstand high operating temperatures reduce the risk of heat-related failures. Reliable in demanding use: engineered to hold up under frequent cycles and higher-temperature environments common in home kitchens, office kitchens, or small food-service settings. Attributes and performance Function: thermostatic switch for electric kettles with a steam-actuated control at the top portion of the handle; controls the heating element based on steam/temperature feedback. Material: high-temperature-resistant components plus flame-retardant plastic housing for safe, long-term use. Compatibility: specifically designed for electric kettles that use a steam switch located at the upper part of the handle. Ideal as a direct replacement for compatible kettle models; verify switch location and mounting before installation. Installation: intended as a replacement component for kettles with the described upper-handle steam-switch layout. Simple swap when the correct form factor is confirmed. Typical use scenarios Home repair: replace a broken or unreliable thermostat switch in a household electric kettle to restore precise temperature control and automatic shutoff. Office or shared kitchen: refurbish a frequently used kettle that needs a more heat-resistant, flame-retardant switch to maintain safety and uptime. Small café or catering prep: install as a replacement part in kettles with the top-handle steam switch to ensure consistent water temperatures during repeated daily use. Fit check Confirm your kettle uses a steam-actuated switch located on the top portion of the handle and that the mounting and connector type match before purchasing. This product is designed specifically for that switch configuration and functions as a replacement for compatible models. Reliable replacement component for electric kettles that require a top-of-handle steam-switch thermostat with high temperature resistance and flame-retardant safety.
