Discuss How bizarre. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Here in sunny Spain a kettle lasts about 2 years max. The cal build-up kills them. If the board trips, unplug the kettle and all is well. Fancy ovens (I don't have one but my pal does) need a few minutes warm up near the controls with a hair dryer to drive any salty moisture out, if not used for a month or so. Have to use CalGon every time in the washing machine or dishwasher.
Back home in sunny Scotland our water is lovely! No such problems there.
 
Mine is still working, more than 90 years old now! It is in desperate need of polishing again though, certainly doesn't look like this at the moment...
