Gas range noises during Bake and Broil operation

Noises that may be heard during the Bake and Broil operation: Whooshing, Poof, Clicking, Snaps, Pop

These sounds are normal operational noises that can be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cycle.

A pop can be heard when the gas valve is opening or cycling on and will make a single pop when it snaps open from the solenoid. It sounds similar to a suction cup being pulled off of a piece of glass.

The ignitors will click several times until the flame is detected. These are short clicking sounds like tapping a nail onto a piece of glass.

A whooshing or poof sound is heard when the Bake or Broil burner ignites.
