Inglis Stove smells like gas
When your Inglis stove smells like gas, a slight odor when a burner first lights can be normal, but it should disappear quickly. A persistent gas smell, especially when the range is not in use, may indicate a damaged range valve or gas tube connection. Shut off the gas supply immediately if you suspect a leak, ventilate the area, and contact a certified technician. The next likely causes are a faulty gas valve assembly or safety valve, which can allow gas to flow after the burner has lit. A failing oven igniter can also cause an odor if the oven burner takes too long to ignite, even if it lights within 90 seconds. A damaged surface burner valve may produce the same symptom. To check for a leak, apply a non-corrosive leak detection solution or soapy water to connection points and look for bubbles, but do not operate the stove if a leak is present. A persistent rotten-egg odor requires an immediate call to your gas utility. Enter your Inglis stove's model number to find the exact replacement valve, safety valve, igniter, or other part for your appliance.
01 - Inglis 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.
