Fix leaking kettle (slrpnk.net)

Hi all

I have an electric kettle I use to boil water often. I bought is because it is stainless steel, except for the indicator to see the water level. Of course this plastic part is now leaking...

Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? My idea would be to fill it with silicone, but not sure if that is safe for use with foods

i would probably replace. the fix will probably annoyingly fail. with a simpler kettle without an internal level, i suggest measuring the water you put in, so you waste neither water nor energy.

Why do you think it will fail?

shrug. homemade seal vs boiling water cycles. maybe you will get lucky.
