Hardwick Stove smells like gas
If your Hardwick stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner first lights can be normal, but a persistent gas smell from the stove is a safety concern. 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. Next, the range gas valve assembly or safety valve may be leaking and should be checked by a certified technician. A failing oven igniter can also cause an oven smells like gas condition if the oven burner lights, but takes too long to ignite. A damaged surface burner valve may allow gas to escape after the burner lights or while the gas stove is not in use. If you smell the distinctive rotten-egg odor associated with a gas leak, shut off the gas supply, ventilate the room if possible, leave the area, and contact your gas utility or a certified technician immediately. Enter your Hardwick range model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or other part for your appliance.
