LG Stove smells like gas
When your LG gas stove smells like gas, a brief odor when a burner lights can be normal, but the smell should disappear quickly. A persistent gas smell from the stove, oven, or range may indicate a damaged gas valve or gas tube connection. Shut off the gas supply immediately if you suspect a leak, ventilate the area, and contact your gas utility or a certified technician. You can check valve and tube connections with a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water, but do not use an open flame. If the smell continues after ignition, the gas valve assembly or safety valve may be damaged. A surface burner valve can cause the same problem. If the LG oven burner lights within 90 seconds but the oven smells like gas afterward, a failing oven igniter may be allowing gas to remain unburned. A persistent rotten-egg odor when the range is not in use is not normal and requires immediate professional attention. Enter your LG model number to find the exact replacement valve, gas valve assembly, safety valve, surface burner valve, or igniter for your range, stove, or oven.
01 - LG 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.
