Bosch cordless kettle switch turns of well before water boils?

Robrt Bosh Cordless model: E-Nr. TKW 1201/02 FD:7806
Type: WK 9 - A

The on switch has to be held on for few seconds to get it to stay on when cold and then turns off well before boiling.

The 'switch off' should be triggered by a small Bi-metalic disc/dome but it turns off before this 'pops'

The switching set frame inside looks like it is rivited to the metal base... i.e. not removable to replace.

SOLUTION: On closer inspection I found that the switch lever was not slotting on to the next bar correctly. I moved the outer white casing a little and was able to re-position it corectly. It now turns off only when water boils :-) I guess the switch lever must have been forced at sometime.
I hate discarding things when otherwise in good order!

Replacement is the only cure, but for the cost of a kettle these days I wouldn't bother trying to fix it.
