Oven Igniter Assembly
Modern gas ranges utilize a silicon carbide igniter that acts as a resistor in series with the gas safety valve. As the igniter ages, its resistance increases, causing it to draw fewer amps; if it falls below the required threshold (typically 3.2-3.6A), the bi-metal arm in the gas valve opens slowly or inconsistently. This delay allows raw gas to bleed into the oven cavity before ignition occurs, creating a noticeable gas smell during the start of the bake cycle.

Surface Burner Valve
If the odor is present while the range is idle, the internal seal of a surface burner valve has likely failed. These valves use a precision-machined stem and specialized grease to maintain a gas-tight seal; mechanical wear or contamination can prevent the valve from seating fully in the 'off' position. This results in a continuous micro-leak of fuel through the burner manifold.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The regulator is responsible for stepping down the house gas pressure to a constant manifold pressure. A rupture in the internal rubber diaphragm or a failure of the vent seal can allow gas to escape the regulator body into the ambient air. This failure mode typically results in a consistent gas odor regardless of whether the oven or burners are currently in operation.
