Electrolux Stove smells like gas
When your Electrolux gas stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner first lights can be normal, but a persistent gas smell from the stove is not. The most likely cause is a damaged range valve or gas tube connection. Shut off the gas supply immediately if you suspect a leak, and use a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water only to check connection points for bubbles. Next, the range gas valve assembly, safety valve, or surface burner valve may be leaking and should be inspected by a certified technician. If the oven smells like gas even though the oven burner lights within about 90 seconds, a weak or failing oven igniter may be allowing gas to flow too long. Do not use the Electrolux gas range if you smell gas when it is not in use or the odor does not quickly disappear. Ventilate the area if possible and contact your gas utility or a certified technician. If you need a replacement valve, safety valve, or igniter, enter your model number to find the exact part for your Electrolux range, stove, or oven.
01 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Valve
While all gas ranges will have a slight gas smell when the burners first light, a persistent smell could be the result of a damaged valve or gas tube. You can apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution, or dishsoap mixed with water, to the valve or tube connection points. The solution will bubble is a gas leak is present. If you suspect a leak is present, you should shut off the gas supply immediately until the issue can be resolved.
