How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: If you smell strong gas, do not light any flames or operate electrical switches. Open windows, evacuate the area, and shut off the gas supply. Contact your gas supplier or a qualified technician immediately.
- Do not attempt repair if leak is suspected: Gas leaks must be handled by a licensed professional.
- Ignition issues: If the smell is mild and only during ignition, the bake igniter may be weak and not lighting gas promptly. Have a technician test and replace the igniter.
