lg gas range
Posted on Sunday, January 9th, 2011 at 9:17am CST by 6af54bd9
Company: lg gas range
Category: Other
lg has a real problem going with the first gas range they introduced. i
dont belive people realize it until a tragedy comes close to occuring.
the gas control knobs are made with to light of plastic and crack become
weak and eventually fall off.
we have had our stove for 2 years and we keep getting knobs from lg but
they keep cracking. and we dont have any children to operate the stove
just myself and my wife. what happens is once they crack they become
weaker as time goes. eventually you will turn the control off but the
gas will continue to leak. thank god the two times this has happened we
were home. when you got to turn it off u have to be very careful as the
leaked gas will ignite. so far we have had two minor explosions. should
we have left for the day only god knows what would have happened. our
daughter in boston has the same stove and has the same problem. our
daughter in minneapolis has the newer version of the stove and has no
problem. lg needs to resolve this with their customers most of who are
very unaware of this problem until they take a closer look at their
controls. thankyou! gary

FIRE HAZARD...The knobs are plastic and strip easily causing them to turn on by themselves if someone walks by the stove and bumbs into it. I have had my house fill with gas 3 times in the past 3 years and I have had the knobs replaced 3 times. One day my entire family is going to die in this house because of this stove if they do not create a better knob as this problem shall continue.
No integrity to the knobs, they look and feel like good quality, but are not functional nor safe. I am disappointed to find that inside the knob hole is plastic (not good quality). After just over a year (warranty expired, of course), two of the knobs cracked inside the holes and will no longer turn the burners on correctly. Within the first year of owning a new LG gas range, the 5-burner control knobs were breaking where the knob slides onto the shaft of the gas control mechanism. I tried repairing it myself and it worked for a while, but now they are so bad they need replacing. Why can it not be made of metal? This simple solution would solve the problem. While searching various parts replacement sites, the knobs are over $70.00 each to replace, 5 x 70 = $350.00 for knobs? Is this customer service and support after the sale? Money Pit Stove waiting to kill my family.
