    I couldn’t have said it any better. I called Frigidaire when I 1st purchased mine 2yrs ago - they treated me like I was nuts. So I called PC Richards, where I purchased it. They had a tech come out last month to check it. All he did was pull out the knobs acting as if that made a difference. What a waste of my freaking time. They need to have a recall as soon as possible. Regardless if it’s pricey or not, should have nothing to do with the fact that it’s dangerous. This is unacceptable. Maybe we should go to BBB & that may initiate a conversation for a recall.

    We have the same issue with our Frigidaire Galaxy that we purchased a year ago. Both my wife and myself have accidentally turned it on while working around the stove, and we quickly turn it off. But yesterday, while my wife was cleaning the microwave, she accidentally bumped the gas on and we didn’t notice until the smell of gas filled the entire house. I’m amazed that Electrolux and all the other appliance manufacturers ignore this serious life threatening safety design defect. Hey, CPSC, are you paying attention!? If there’s a class action lawsuit, sign me up.

    My wife and I went out to dinner one night and when we returned home one burner was on. Apparently our puppy had put her paws up on the stove and turned it on. That could have been very bad. Our dogs could have died from the gas if it hadn't lit or the house could have burned down. Now everytime we leave we take all the knobs off so they can't accidentally turn on the gas and unplug the power cord so they can't accidentally turn on the oven since it has a touch screen for the oven. My wife loves the stove but yes it can be very dangerous. This is the only solution we could come up with to prevent disaster.

      There needs to be a recall. I guess they are waiting for some houses to blow up and loss of life along with a lawsuit or two. That usually gets their attention. All those valves will need to be replaced with stronger resistance when pushing in past the locking part. Maybe send letters to the Consumer Protection Agency.

    Have the same issue with a different model Frigidaire Gallery gas stove. Our knobs are on the front facing up.
    My wife has yelled at me a couple times for “forgetting” to turn off the stove. One time I was cleaning something with a small towel and the edge of the towel must have lightly touched it and turned it on. Several other times we smelled gas and discovered that the gas wasn’t totally off. We thought we had turned it off but the knobs can very easily rotate so that gas is leaking into the home.
    Today I just made breakfast and sat down to eat. Smelled gas. Somehow a burner that I hadn’t even used had the knob slightly on. Gas was leaking into the house!!
    We are not careless. We cook two or three times a day. Over five years of owning this house, we have only left the kitchen a few times with the knobs on…. BUT many many other times we have caught the issue as or soon after it happened.
    Now we make a habit of checking the stove every night before bed.
    Anybody consumer protection about this?

  • @ftswarbill
    @ftswarbill 2 года назад +6

    Another serious problem with Frigidaire gas stoves of this average model is if you accidentally turn the gas knob the wrong way and it stops on "LOW" but it feels like "Off" in the other direction. Now normally this isn't too dangerous and after a bit you will notice a tiny flame and turn it the other way to "Off". The problem is if you quickly turn it the wrong way the flame will go out but still pump out gas.
    Imagine if you go on vacation and that little amount of unused gas expands into a cloud and then the furnace/HVAC or refrigerator clicks on and that little electrical spark from the compressor ignites the gas. BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!

    • @tuffy11000
      @tuffy11000 2 года назад +1

      If you turn the burner knob quickly to low and the flame goes out then you should adjust the valve so it doesn’t. Refer to the owners manual on how to do it. It requires removing the knob and using a small screwdriver to adjust the screw in the center of the shaft until the flame is high enough without shutting off.

That doesn’t slow it to be turned even by force(you can but intentional) wife was about to buy giant knob covers. This is just a small strip to fill in the gap

    Do those burners not have thermocouples on them, thermocouples are a flame failure device which stops the gas coming out if there is no flame. They are standard in the UK. Also if gas is coming out it won't fill your house with carbon monoxide, it will fill it with unburnt gas, which is highly explosive at certain concentrations.

      you sound like the idiot designer of this obviously dangerously made burner valve. all it would have taken is to have it move in a bit further to rotate, like most other properly designed gas valves.

      This isn’t about paying attention. Is a total safety issue. A light wind could probably turn on our damn stove.

      This is what one idiot causes. A landslide of complete nonsensical claims. I own a stove just like this and I supposes if I leaned all over it I might be able to have this occurs but mine is fine. I am a product liability lawyer of 5 decades. This is BS. Just pay attention to what you’re doing. Knobs getting hot? My god. It’s a stove with an oven and heat rises.

      I have the same problem, there needs to be a recall on badly designed knobs. This issue is real.
