Put a toothpick in a kettle and see what happens.

Boiling water repeatedly without stopping can overload the appliance’s resistance. Wait about 15 minutes between each use to preserve your kettle and avoid breakdowns.

Tip to save electricity

To avoid turning on your kettle several times a day, adopt a practical solution: the thermos. After heating water, pour it into a thermos to keep it warm. This will give you hot water while reducing your electricity consumption.
