Intermitent gas smell

We have a Whirlpool Accubake range. For some time we have detected a faint gas smell around the range. It never seems to last long and doesn't happen often. We called the gas company and they used their leak detector all around and in the oven and didn't detect anything. For the first time, we smelled gas in the oven even though the range had not been used or moved for a couple of weeks. It has all electronic ignitions. Is it possible for the gas control valve to leak occasionally?

Yes it is possible. a faint smell now and again from a gas stove is normal, as it has many burners to and oven. if smell is not constant, nothing to worry about.

Whirlpool 465 accubake gas range stuck in the "lock" mode.

Hi, Try setting it to clean, then cancel the clean cycle right away. Sometimes this helps. Please let me know.

Whirlpool Accubake Super Capacity 465 gas range. Oven won't light

Some gas ranges may take 10 or so minutes to light.
Other than that you may have a defective glow bar ignitor.
If it glows and does not light the reistance in the ignitior has failed.
