The failure to heat the water is almost absolute conclusive proof that the heating element is open circuit. A check may be made with a resistance meter (if you have one) but it will just show an open circuit. Very few (no) kettles are made to be repairable these days - it's a safety thing.
What do you do with your kettle? Throw it away and buy a new one.
