Gas Range Gas Smell? - Top 5 reasons and EASY DIY instructions to get your Gas Range back to working order. For more detailed information, please visit: https://www.appliancepartspros.com/b/...

Reason #1 - Oven Ignitor: If the ignitor on the stove goes bad, it will cause the gas to flow out of the range, but it may not be able to create the spark to light the flame. If the ignition source cannot light the gas, it will continue to flow from the appliance and out into the room, which can become dangerous if left unattended.

Reason #2 - Burner Tubes: The burner tubes in the gas range are designed to transport the gas between the gas supply and the cooktop burners. These tubes could be clogged with buildup or debris, causing the gas supply to be blocked so that it is still flowing but not igniting. This buildup of gas will create a gas smell.

Reason #3 - Cooktop Burner Valves: The burner valves are what you turn to send gas into the burner head. They usually consist of a mounting block and a valve, as well as a connecting point for the burner tube. They're usually located right behind the control panel. Some models will allow you to see the shaft when you remove the knobs, but you’ll have to lift the cooktop to get full access.

Reason #4 - Gas Pressure Regulator: The gas pressure regulator is responsible for controlling the gas pressure coming into the oven. These regulators include an inlet and an outlet valve and newer models even have their own shutoff valve built into the unit. The inside includes a diaphragm and spring that regulate the pressure.

Reason #5 - Oven Safety Valve: The oven safety valve is responsible for preventing the gas from flowing into the oven burner if the igniter fails. These usually have a metal housing and a metal arm inside that are used to keep an eye on the pressure. It's usually located behind the rear access panel or on top of the gas orifice by the oven burner. If the safety valve has gone bad, this could result in a gas smell.
