Query: Kettle stopped working after about 6 months

Initially, water boiled in the kettle smelled of chemicals (I assume from the plastic), but this problem went away after using the kettle for about a week ... after which it worked well for about 6 months.However, the kettle has now stopped working ... the problem seems to be in the electrical contact in the base ... I was able to get it to work by pressing down hard on the kettle ... but now, even that does not work.I am disappointed, as I had expected a Krups product to be more durable
