With the development of technology, consumers are gradually shifting their gas‑stove purchasing channels from offline to online. In particular, the rapid popularization of smartphones has made mobile‑phone‑based online shopping the dominant option. Of course, some people still prefer shopping in physical malls, as they can see and touch the products in person. Nevertheless, whether shopping online or offline, purchasing reliable and guaranteed gas stoves should be your top priority. Today we will take stock of gas‑stove types that are most liable to malfunction.
- 1.Gas stoves without thermocouple flame‑failure protection device
The thermocouple flame‑failure protection device cuts off the gas supply automatically when cooking liquid boils over and extinguishes the burner flame during cooking or water‑heating. For gas stoves not equipped with such a device, gas will keep leaking after the flame is put out, which poses severe safety hazards. - 2.Gas stoves exceeding service life
The normal service life of most household gas stoves is 7‑8 years. If your stove has been used for more than 8 years, it must be replaced. - 3.Damaged gas stoves
Damage may occur during long‑term use, especially for ageing units. Replace the gas stove immediately if rusting or deformation appears. Gas stoves demand high internal sealing performance. Deformation or internal pipe damage may result in gas leakage and even explosion accidents. - 4.Gas stoves with inferior material and design
Surface bursting of some tempered‑glass gas stoves is mainly caused by unstable nickel sulfide inside the glass failing to withstand temperature differences. - 5.Counterfeit‑brand gas stoves
Some households buy gas stoves from street stalls or small local shops. Many of these products come from counterfeit brands or defunct manufacturers. Once faults occur during usage, it will be difficult to get after‑sales maintenance or compensation from sellers.
