KitchenAid Stove smells like gas
Persistent gas smell from a KitchenAid gas stove, range, or oven is not something to ignore. A slight odor when a burner first lights can be normal, but a strong or continuing smell means you should shut off the gas supply immediately. The most likely cause is a damaged range/stove/oven valve or gas tube connection. Check connection points with a non-corrosive leak detection solution or dish soap mixed with water, and look for bubbles. A gas valve assembly or safety valve can also leak and requires a certified technician. If the oven burner lights within about 90 seconds but the odor remains, a failing oven igniter may be allowing gas to build up before ignition. A damaged surface burner valve is another possibility. If the rotten-egg smell continues while the KitchenAid gas stove is off, leave the area, ventilate only if safe, and contact your gas utility immediately. Do not operate the appliance until it is repaired. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or surface burner valve for your KitchenAid range, stove, or oven.
01 - KitchenAid 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.
