I am not a teacher or a native speaker.
You seem to have run out of articles after the first two nouns. Please add an article before the remaining nouns and put the revised message in a new post in this thread.
You should also look up each of the nouns. There are only three, so it won't take long. See whether they mean what you think they do.

Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Cookers don't whistle. Kettles whistle.
2. Cooker is another uncommon word, except when people talk about slow cookers, which are electric pots used for cooking things overnight. Otherwise, cooker is not natural.
3. Kettles don't blow whistles. Kettles' whistles blow.
4. Gas is wrong. You can say stove or burner. Sometimes people say gas ring, but I don't hear it often.
I'm not a teacher. I speak American English. I've tutored writing at the University of Southern Maine and have done a good deal of copy editing and writing, occasionally for publication.
Also, remember that in some countries, having a kettle that goes on the stove is very outdated. Almost all UK households have an electric kettle, and they don't whistle.

If you put my kettle on the stove, it would melt!!! Many kettles are made of plastic, and almost all kettle bases are plastic. In case of any confusion, this is what I'm talking about:

They don't whistle? How do you know when they're done?
The electric kettle exists in the US, but is not as effective because we have 110 V household power, not 200 V. Takes longer to boil. Easier to use stove, which is 220 V.
