Frigidaire Stove smells like gas
When your Frigidaire stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner first lights can be normal, but a persistent smell is not. The most likely cause is a damaged range valve or gas tube connection. Turn off the gas supply immediately if you suspect a leak, and use a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water at the connections only if it is safe to do so. Bubbles indicate escaping gas. A faulty gas valve assembly or safety valve can also allow gas to remain after the burner lights or while the range is not in use. If your oven burner lights within about 90 seconds but the oven smells like gas, a failing oven igniter may be the cause. A damaged surface burner valve is another possibility. Do not use the Frigidaire gas range until a certified technician repairs a suspected leak. If you notice a persistent rotten-egg odor, leave the area, ventilate it if possible, and contact your gas utility immediately. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement valve, gas valve assembly, safety valve, igniter, or surface burner valve for your specific Frigidaire range.

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.
