The "click before the kettle switches off" refers to the sound made by an electric kettle as it reaches its boiling point. This click is typically the result of a bimetallic strip or a thermostat mechanism inside the kettle that detects the temperature of the water. When the water boils, the mechanism triggers the switch to turn off the heating element, ensuring safety and preventing the kettle from boiling dry. This sound serves as an audible signal that the kettle is done heating.
Kettle efficiency refers to how effectively a kettle can convert electrical energy into heat energy to boil water. A kettle's efficiency can be influenced by factors such as the material of the kettle, its insulation, and the design of the heating element. Kettles with higher efficiency tend to boil water faster and use less electricity.
Its called a bi-metallic switch, which switches off when the kettle boils, as the switch is made from two layers of different metals, which expand at different rates when heated, which causes the sandwich of the two metals to "bend" when it heats up.
Electric kettles are equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, usually triggered by a heat-sensitive thermostat, to prevent the water from boiling dry and damaging the kettle. This helps ensure safety and prevents overheating, conserving energy and making the appliance more user-friendly.
An automatic electric kettle works by using an internal heating element to rapidly heat the water. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, a built-in thermostat automatically shuts off the heating element, preventing the water from boiling over. The kettle then switches to keep the water warm until it is ready to be poured.
To clean calcium from a kettle, mix equal parts of water and vinegar and let it sit in the kettle for a few hours. Then, scrub the inside of the kettle with a brush or sponge to remove the buildup. Rinse the kettle thoroughly before using it again.
Sookie took the kettle off after Polly put it on.
Polly put the kettle on. Polly put the kettle on. Polly put the kettle on and let's have tea. Sukey taken it off again. Sukey taken it off again. Sukey taken it off again. They're all gone away.
It's just contraction. The metal continues to cool and makes cracking sounds. Can happen long after use, especially if there is still water in the kettle.Kettles use a thermo bi-metal switch to shut the kettle off once it has boiled. This switch will not reset while the kettle is hot. Once the kettle has cooled down to a reasonabletemperature the switch will reset itself and be ready to for the next heating cycle. The click you are hearing is the switch resetting itself.
There is a heating element in the kettle. As the water boils, the inner temperature of the kettle rises. Once the boiling temperature is reached, a small thermostat is triggered which turns the kettle off, so as to not boil continually. This thermostat works optimally with the lid on the kettle fully closed, if the lid is not fully closed, it does not switch the kettle off as quickly.
Off and on switches connect to a current. An on switch allows the current to run through an object, essentially "turning it on". Off switches cut of this current.

Compared to leaving the kettle on and hot all the time, it certainly saves electrical energy if the kettle is turned off when it's not in use. The switch can be used to perform that vital function.
