A common cause is the calcium, or some other minerals in the water eventually ate through the bottom of the tank. You will need a new tank, or better... A new kettle.

Unfortunately it's unfixable. A few recent Philips models do it as well and it's worst in hard water areas. Basically the cause is that a tiny bit of water gets into the bottom seam each time the kettle is used and leaves a residue behind when it dries out. Over time, the residue builds up and forces the seam apart so the leak gets worse.

All you can realistically do is hope that it's still under warranty and demand that Krups replace it, preferably with a different model. If they won't then you may have to exert whichever consumer rights exist in your country, but one way or another you need to stop using your kettle (it's dangerous!) and replace it with another.

You cannot fix it when they split like that.

The crank handle screws in counter-clockwise so it doesn't unscrew when you dump the kettle. Try that.

Common mistake. Handle has reverse thread. Screw it on backwards. This is a safety measure. Hope this helps.

suspect kettle heating element is defective. if the light did not come on then it could also be the thermal switch which may be sticking. if the product is relatively new you should still have warrenty, recommend contacting your vendor about this problem. Kenwood have a very good customer service network.

look at the bottom of the machine and find the name of the manufacturer. Find the company on google and you should be able to download a manual straight from their website
