mattk1 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hey guys, My hot water making kettle thing (what do you call 'em?) has suddenly stopped dispensing water when I press the lid pump. I can hear it trying to pump but it's just not happening, and yes there is water in it Any ideas how I can fix it? I'm broke at the moment so buying new one is last on my list Cheers for any tips!

dogleg Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Seal between lid and kettle probably worn/dirty. Try cleaning it gently. Temp. hold the lid down with other hand while you press the pump. Then buy a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chonburiram Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Dry Mama noodles laced with the oily chilli paste it comes with, makes a nice, crispy snack. Edit: Do not eat more than 3 packs in one sitting; noodles will macerate/swell up and can cause stomach rupture.

Btw, mama bought at 7 are the mercedes under the instant noodles, you aren't really broke, aren't you? Ha ha love that one Chonburiram! I live off those mama noodles, however if I cut back on them I might be able to afford a new hot water making kettle thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm broke at the moment---OP Seriously , I am not trying to make light of your situation, but an upmarket multi purpose one at Lazada is just over $6 how about a whip around.........

Thongkorn Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) I tried in the past to repair one, in the end had to buy a new one, Edited May 10, 2015 by Thongkorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Put water in a pot. Heat it on your stove. Old fashion and easy too! buy a new pumper when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If cleaning the seal round the lid did not work try dismantling the lid and clean the flappy plastic valve thing that acts as a non return air valve inside the lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If cleaning the seal round the lid did not work try dismantling the lid and clean the flappy plastic valve thing that acts as a non return air valve inside the lid. When ours failed it was the large rubber pump membrane that had ruptured. Not much chance of repair if that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chonburiram Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 You still could use the boiling feature of your kettle, after reaching boiling point carefully open the lid avoid contact with hot steam, then take a small cup and carefully scoop hot water in your bowl. But I think you figured that out already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What the Thais do when the pump breaks is just dip the hot water out. We have one like that in the spare house. Guests don't seem to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
