Oven Igniter
The igniter is a resistive heating element that must draw a specific amperage to warp the bimetallic strip inside the gas safety valve. Over time, the material degrades and its resistance increases, leading to a delay in ignition. This delay allows a small volume of unburnt gas to accumulate in the oven cavity before the burner finally lights, causing a noticeable gas odor.

Oven Safety Valve
This valve is responsible for controlling the flow of gas to the oven burner. If the internal seals or the diaphragm become brittle or contaminated with debris, the valve may fail to close completely. This results in a continuous, slow leak of gas into the appliance even when the controls are in the 'off' position.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The regulator maintains a steady gas pressure to the manifold. It contains a flexible rubber diaphragm and a vent to the atmosphere; if the diaphragm ruptures due to age or a pressure spike, gas will leak through the vent hole, creating a persistent gas smell usually concentrated at the rear of the range.
