Query: Death of a Kettle

I purchased this item last December and haven't quite owned it a year. It has recently died on me after a few days of odd, hot smells emanating from the kettle after use. It did heat water rapidly, it was easy and convenient, and now it's dead. My last purchased kettle (Proctor-Silex 5+ years old) is still going strong elsewhere. I am very disappointed.
