Cute but whistle warning

Love my little teapot. It's cute, has a great color, and whistled out of the package upon first boil. The whistle was sweet and loud enough to hear in another room. The whistle after I think it's been maybe 3 months is now barely whistling. Not sure what is up with Kenmore. They really should fix their whistles. I mean the thing has two jobs, boil water and whistle. It's an age old task that should be more than perfected in 2022. I want mine fixed by Kenmore, but it's past the date of return now (only 3 months in, which is utter BS since it's a manufacturing issue.)

(Note: The one I ordered for my friend didn't whistle. The one replacing the one I got for my friend barely whistled out of the box too so we returned it again.) Kenmore, Do. Your. JOB. It's a shame because it's otherwise a great teapot.

Whistle goddamit! Kenmore do you even know what year of civilization this is??

Plot twist: she never took it off the burner, it just whistled until there was no water left and she got mad.

I'd call this a troll review, but have you HEARD how mothers let their kids SCREAM THEIR HEADS OFF in grocery stores?

The only way I can think of for a whistling kettle to not whistle is for there to be some gunk or other obstruction in the little hole ... or maybe they machined the hole in the second one a bit too large? But hers would have to be some kind of blockage. Or damage.

I wonder how this ... human ... thinks whistling kettles work?
