Gaggenau Stove smells like gas
If your Gaggenau stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner lights can be normal, but a persistent gas smell from the stove or oven is not. The most likely cause is a damaged range/stove/oven valve or gas tube connection. Shut off the gas supply and have a certified technician inspect the connection, using a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water to check for bubbles. A faulty gas valve assembly is another likely cause, followed by a damaged safety valve or surface burner valve, which can allow gas to flow after the burner is lit or when the range is not in use. If the gas oven burner lights within 90 seconds but the oven smells like gas afterward, a failing igniter may be responsible. Never ignore a persistent rotten-egg odor. Ventilate the area if possible, leave the home, and contact your gas utility immediately. Enter your Gaggenau model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or other part for your range, stove, or oven.
01 - Gaggenau 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.
