Norge Stove smells like gas
When your Norge 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. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution, or a mixture of dish soap and water, to the connection points and watch for bubbles. If you suspect a leak, shut off the gas supply immediately. A gas valve assembly, safety valve, or surface burner valve may also be leaking and should be inspected by a certified technician. If your oven smells like gas when preheating, but the oven burner lights within about 90 seconds, a failing oven igniter may be allowing gas to build up before ignition. Never use the range if you smell gas when it is not in use. Open a window if possible, leave the area, and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician, especially if you notice a persistent rotten-egg odor. Enter your Norge model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or other part for your gas range, stove, or oven.
01 - Norge 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.
