There he is! Yup, piezo buzzer, good work op.

It's an x2 capacitor to supress emi. He eventually linked it to me down below as well.

Here's what those buzzers can sometimes look like:

They just make sound to indicate the state of things when used as part of a circuit. Like your kettle being finished boiling water.

?

Top is a relay, bottom is a capacitor. Thanks! The sound you're hearing is probably from a piezo buzzer like some one else mentioned. I wish I was home so I could send you a picture of one. They can be really loud!

A lot of kettles use sound to indicate state. If you're nervous you should alert your local authorities rather than wait. Better safe than sorry.

Edit: Sorry folks. I thought op meant beeper as in the radio device. It's late where I am and I'm tired, hah. Was just trying to encourage a bit of safety.

Is the capacitor an x2 cap for voltage surges? Looks like it. The rest is just normal stuff. Not my field, been out of school for years and am an idiot. That being said I'm curious: what's the inductor by the Emi suppression capacitor for in this circuit? Is it just to form a tank circuit to heat the kettle more efficiently?

Thanks so much op! This is really going to help me out.

Not sure what gameanalytics is actually for, but my DNS ad blocker does not care for it.
