Possible Causes

Safety first: If you smell strong gas, do not operate any electrical switches or open flames. Ventilate the area and evacuate if necessary.

Shut off gas: Turn off the gas supply valve to the range immediately.
Do not attempt major gas repairs yourself: Contact your gas supplier or a licensed appliance technician to perform a leak test with proper equipment.
Visual check: With gas off, inspect the flexible gas connector and fittings for obvious damage. Replace the gas supply line or have fittings tightened by a professional.
