Makro guarantee on products

I bought a Mellaware glass kettle on 17/08/17. On 30/10/17 the switch got stuck and 30/10 I returned it. I have to wait up to SIX WEEKS for Mellaware to fix it. I complained to head office but that is their policy. So what must I use in the mean time? All other stores give an one year exchange guarantee. I think this is outrageous . So I or my family will never shop at Makro or buy Mellaware products again.
