Crosley Stove smells like gas
If your Crosley 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, which may leak gas. Shut off the gas supply immediately if you suspect a leak, and do not use the range until it is repaired. Next, a faulty gas valve assembly or safety valve may allow gas to flow after the burner lights or while the range is off. A failing oven igniter can also cause an oven smells like gas problem if the oven burner takes too long to ignite, even if it lights within about 90 seconds. A damaged surface burner valve is another possibility. You can check valve and tube connections with a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water, but bubbling indicates a leak that requires a certified technician. If you notice the distinctive rotten-egg odor, ventilate the area if safe and contact your gas utility immediately. Enter your Crosley range model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or other part for your appliance.
01 - Crosley 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.
