It smells like gas but there is no gas run to this oven? You are certain of that I take it? Is there any nearby appliance that runs on gas? What about the oven portion of it?
Let me know and I can help here.

I just saw your other comment, couldn't see it before... the stovetop is gas correct? It sounds like something is malfunctioning for sure, there is no logical reason that fan would kick on, and if there is gas leaking that is extremely dangerous as I'm sure you realize. You can try replacing some parts, I have recommendations, but honestly you are going to be best served bringing someone in - in person to look at it. Either that or completely shut off the stove until you get the new parts.
Thanks

Kathy,
The burner in the oven that has the fan going on is leaking. May be a small leak but a leak nevertheless. So please have its gas pipe removed and replaced soonest. Then the has smell and the fan running on its own will cease.
Hello bdrillbit - Is the electronic igniter aligned properly? Ensure that tip of spark igniter is aligned with metal point or "nib" located on underside of burner cap after the burner mounting screws have been tightened. (Not all burners having mounting screws). When the burner control knob is set to the "LITE" position do the igniters spark? Can gas be heard or smelled coming from the burners when the control number is turned on? However, if you smell gas, I highly recommend turning the unit and the gas off if you can reach it and contact your gas provider. The range itself does not have a switch or regulator to relight it. Keep in mind that it may be experiencing an issue with the spark module, electrodes, wiring or EOC.

Since the oven is electric & the stovetop is gas, I don't understand why the oven fan would come on. I don't know where the leak may be coming from.
The oven is electric
