This is to cut off the gas flow if a line gets severed in an accident or something, so that the gas does not flow freely and cause an explosion or fire.
I once activated that safety feature after filling the bottle by turning the valve open very quickly. The solution was to shut it off, disconnect the hose, reconnect and open the valve slowly instead of cranking it quickly.
But that doesn't really explain why other appliances worked.
Just a thought.
