I have two of these ranges in 1 month. The first was leaking gas when it wasn’t even on. The second had an intense gas odor when the oven was on. Called out my gas company and it turned out it was also leaking gas off the charts. In the process of trying to now return this so I can go with a different brand
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your GE gas range. When the oven first starts, it is normal to detect an unusual odor coming from the range. This odor is caused by the combustion of gas at the burner, and it will go away within a few minutes as the oven heats up. Also, unburned gas has an odor. It is completely different from the odor caused by the combustion of gas. Some people equate the odor of unburned gas to the smell of rotten eggs. It is not normal to smell unburned gas in your home, therefore, if you smell gas, you should: Open the windows. Do not touch electrical switches. Extinguish any open flame. Promptly call your gas supplier from a phone outside your home. If you have additional concerns, please reach out to us at GEAppliances.com - Sue
