Possible Causes
Delayed ignition due to weak igniter, Leaking gas connection at oven, Cracked burner or manifold, Faulty oven safety valve not sealing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off the oven and gas supply. Do not operate electrical switches or create sparks. Ventilate the area and evacuate if the smell is strong.
- Do not relight: Do not attempt to use the oven until the source of the leak is identified and repaired.
- Check connections (qualified persons only): Inspect the gas line connections to the oven and within the oven compartment using a leak detection solution (soapy water). Bubbles indicate a leak.
- Inspect igniter and burner: A weak igniter can cause gas buildup before ignition. Replace a weak oven igniter.
- Professional service: Any confirmed gas leak or suspected faulty oven safety gas valve should be repaired by a licensed gas technician.
