Is this stove safe to use? There was a fire.?
im renting a house with an older gas cooktop. I was using one burner, when the knob to turn on the back burner diagonal to the one in use began to smoke and create a small fire. My landlord hired a appliance repairman who arrived in a white van that advertised him as someone who does stuff like pressure washing decks.
My one roommate ,who is a competent individual, looked at it and said it was an electrical fire probably caused by old wiring causing it to spark and catch nearby particulate on fire. The faux appliance guy says it was a gas leak. The landlord wants to fix just the one burner and continue using the cooktop. I feel like if the wiring is faulty, the whole thing is a giant fire hazard. Who to believe?
One thing about a Gas Stove, is, they have very limited electrical wiring, usually just for the igniters, if the stove is fitted with them.
Also did you smell anything when the fire started? Usually if it's wiring, then you can smell a sort of rubber burning smell, electrical fires, have a unique smell or odor to them.
A gas fire, smells different as well.
As it smoked before it caught fire, then I would suspect an electrical fire, as a gas fire, would usually just burst into flames.
If you have any doubts, call your local Gas Company to have it checked out for leaks. They usually do this free of charge, but call them, and ask them, if they do supply that service and any fees they may charge.
But with Gas stoves, or any appliances, it pays to be sure.
Also, if one burner, has bad wiring, you can be sure, the rest of the wiring, is the same age, and can be in the same condition. So all the wiring, should be changed.
If possible, swing the stove around, and have a good look at the wiring and feel it, see if it's brittle.
But I suggest the Gas Company first, and they will let you know, whether the stove is safe to use or not.
