It’s the handle of a water kettle. Behind the circuit board is nothing. There is also no other circuit board in the kettle. Is the yellow thing the beeper? Thanks for any help 🙏
No beeper in this photo. Could be a piezoelectric disk hidden some where they are small and thin. what’s on the other side of the PCB? Also look stuck to the plastic, piezos are often stuck to the casing to use it as a sounding board.
Edit: not sure what the yellow thing, cap maybe, can you get a better picture of the text on it ?
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?
idk, not familiar with those things. the kettle can has 5 modes of temperatures: 60–100 °C. Its really nice, just insanely loud. More pictures if case it gives more info, sorry for the bad quality, hope its readable
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!
i would follow the wires until you find either a black plastic cylinder around 5-10mm in diameter with a hole on top, or a brass-colored disc around an inch in diameter. that would most likely be a piezo speaker.
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.
