How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off all burners and the main gas supply. Do not use electrical switches or open flames. Ventilate the area and evacuate if odor is strong.
Steps (qualified technician recommended):
- Leak detection: Apply an approved leak detection solution to all accessible gas connections (shutoff valve, flex line, manifold connections). Look for bubbles indicating a leak.
- Tighten or replace fittings: Carefully tighten leaking fittings to the specified torque. Replace any damaged flex lines or fittings.
- Valve inspection: If leaks are detected at a burner valve stem or body, replace the valve or manifold assembly with OEM parts.
- Final test: After repairs, perform a full leak test on all joints before restoring normal operation.
Warning: Gas leak diagnosis and repair should be performed by a licensed gas technician familiar with Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances.
