My gas oven wouldn't start. I replaced the oven igniter and now the oven works but I smell gas, even when it is turned off. If I turn the gas off at the valve, the gas smell goes away. Is this a regulator issue? Where do I go from here?
It was leaking at the safety valve. No more gas smell but now the flame is super high. Maybe the regulator?
The ignighter usually has no Inter action with the gas other than switches that turn on the electronics, did you change or mess with any of the gas lines? I would make up a soap water solution and check every fitting for leaks and tighten. Gas is normally only pressurized at ~3/4 of a psi so there is not much pressure. If after bubble checking all the fittings and tightening any leakers it would be time to call a pro if you smell gas.
