December 10, 2025 – A serious gas safety hazard has been reported involving an LG gas range, model LSGL6335D.BBDELGA. The incident details a concerning gas leak from the appliance’s knob and burner areas, even when all controls were in the OFF position, confirmed by a gas leak detector. This poses significant risks of fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide exposure to consumers.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The incident was reported on November 20, 2025, concerning an LG gas range, model LSGL6335D.BBDELGA. The consumer was using the stove normally for household cooking when they discovered a gas leak. Gas was actively escaping from both the knob area and the burner area, despite all the control knobs being set to the “OFF” position.
To verify the suspected leak, the consumer utilized a gas leak detector, which repeatedly alarmed when placed near the reported areas. This confirmed that gas was escaping from the valve or control assembly of the range. Fortunately, no injuries occurred as a direct result of this incident. However, the consumer promptly shut off the main gas supply to the appliance to prevent further risk.
The consumer reported contacting LG customer support, but stated that the company refused to treat the issue as a safety concern, offering only a paid flat-rate repair. The consumer emphasizes that this failure is inherently dangerous and presents a serious threat to the safety and well-being of consumers.
Safety Concerns
The reported gas leak from the LG gas range, even when in the OFF position, presents multiple severe safety concerns:
- Immediate Dangers: The most immediate and critical dangers are fire and explosion. An accumulation of natural gas in an enclosed space, even at low concentrations, can be ignited by an open flame, spark, or even static electricity, leading to a catastrophic explosion. A continuous leak also poses an ongoing fire risk if an ignition source is present.
- Carbon Monoxide Exposure: While natural gas itself is not carbon monoxide, a faulty gas appliance can lead to incomplete combustion if the gas is ignited inefficiently, producing carbon monoxide (CO). CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can be fatal when inhaled, displacing oxygen in the blood. Even without combustion, a significant gas leak can reduce oxygen levels in a poorly ventilated area, posing suffocation risks.
- Long-Term Risks: Persistent, unaddressed gas leaks can lead to chronic health issues from low-level gas exposure, though the primary concern remains acute hazards. The prolonged presence of gas also increases the cumulative risk of an ignition event occurring at any time.
- Who Might Be Affected: All occupants of the home, including adults, children, and pets, are at direct risk. Visitors to the home could also be affected. First responders or utility workers called to an emergency involving a gas leak also face potential dangers.
- Property Damage Potential: An uncontrolled fire or explosion resulting from a gas leak can cause extensive and often irreparable damage to the appliance, kitchen, and potentially the entire property, leading to total loss and endangering neighboring properties.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own an LG gas range, especially model LSGL6335D.BBDELGA, and suspect a gas leak or experience similar issues:
- Immediate Steps:
* Do not operate the appliance.
* Turn off the gas supply to the appliance immediately. Most gas ranges have a shut-off valve behind them or accessible nearby. If not, turn off the main gas supply to your home.
* Ventilate the area immediately. Open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate.
* Do not use any electrical switches, phones, or ignition sources (like lighters or matches) as these can create a spark and ignite leaking gas.
* Evacuate the premises if you smell a strong gas odor or hear a hissing sound indicating a significant leak.
* Contact your gas utility company or a qualified appliance service technician from a safe location to inspect the appliance and ensure repairs are made safely.
- How to Check if You Own the Affected Product:
* Locate the model number on your LG gas range. This is typically found on a label around the door frame, behind the storage drawer, or on the back of the appliance.
* Compare your model number to LSGL6335D.BBDELGA.
- Prevention Measures:
* Consider installing a natural gas detector in your kitchen and carbon monoxide detectors in your home, especially near sleeping areas.
* Regularly inspect your gas range for any signs of damage or unusual odors.
* Have gas appliances professionally inspected periodically.
- Reporting Procedures:
* If you experience a similar incident, report it immediately to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov.
* Contact LG Electronics directly to report the issue.
