Should a small electric kettle make sloshing sounds like it has water in it when it is actually empty? No, it should not. But mine did today.
The water was inside a compartment in the lid, where there is a weight sealed inside, to make the lid tilt open when a button on the handle is pressed. That compartment was not well enough sealed, and steam from the boiling water was getting inside, then condensing when the kettle cooled off. This slowly collected to make a pool of water inside the lid compartment. I drilled a couple of holes to drain it. You know where it was made, don't you?
Also having sloshing experiences here once in a while: the cooker is slowly but steadily disintegrating: the lid won´t close any more, there are sloshing sounds from time to time, it always won´t switch off automatically. Water is leaking from somewhere underneath occasionally.
