What should be reported as deficient in gas or electric ranges during an inspection?

Presence of scratches
Broken or missing knobs
Age of the appliance
Type of cooking surface

The correct answer is: Broken or missing knobs

During an inspection, broken or missing knobs on gas or electric ranges should be reported as deficient because they directly impact the safety and functionality of the appliance. Knobs are essential for controlling the temperature and operation of the range, and if they are damaged or missing, it can lead to improper use, potential safety hazards, and an inability to operate the appliance effectively. Therefore, it’s important to note any such deficiencies to inform the homeowner or prospective buyer of necessary repairs or replacements. Other factors, such as the presence of scratches, age of the appliance, or the type of cooking surface, do not compromise the basic safety and operational functionality in the same way that broken or missing knobs do. While they may be relevant in a broader assessment of the appliance’s condition or aesthetics, they do not influence the immediate usability and safety of the range in the manner that faulty knobs do.
