Jenn Air Stove smells like gas
When your Jenn Air stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner lights can be normal, but a persistent gas smell from the stove is a safety concern. First, shut off the gas supply and do not use the range until the cause is corrected. The most likely cause is a damaged range valve or gas tube connection. Check connections with a non-corrosive leak detection solution or dish soap mixed with water, and look for bubbles. A faulty gas valve assembly, safety valve, or surface burner valve can also allow gas to escape after the burner lights or while the range is not in use. If your oven smells like gas and the oven burner lights within 90 seconds, a failing oven igniter may be allowing gas to flow too long before ignition. A slight odor that disappears quickly after lighting is expected, but a persistent rotten-egg odor may indicate a dangerous leak. Ventilate the area if possible and contact your gas utility or a certified technician immediately. Enter your Jenn Air model number to find the exact replacement valve, igniter, or other part for your range, stove, or oven.
01 - Jenn Air 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.
