first thing you wanna know is how many M is that kettle drawing look for a tag on your kettle and see if it has an amp rating on it as well. You can’t just change a fuse or a breaker to a higher amperage without being in compliance with the wire itself so for instance, a 15 amp breaker would use a 14 wire and a 20 amp breaker would use a 12 wire
