Estate Gas Oven Smell During Preheating in a New Apartment: When to Leave and Call for Help
Do not keep testing an Estate gas oven because the smell might be normal. Whirlpool's opened gas-odor guidance says a quick, faint whiff during ignition can fade within a few minutes, but a strong or persistent odor, gas smell while the oven is off, hissing, delayed ignition, abnormal flame, smoke, headache, dizziness, or a carbon-monoxide alarm must be treated as a possible leak or combustion hazard.
