The electric stove is safer than gas (no leak risk) and cleaner to use. Its drawback is a higher electricity bill. It suits apartments with no gas connection, or people who are wary of gas.
Electric stoves work with heating elements in both the burners and the oven. Their main components: coil burners or hot plates, thermostats, and temperature sensors. The most common faults: a burnt heating element, a faulty thermostat, or damaged internal wiring.
