Gas range noises during Bake and Broil operations

Noises that may be heard during the Bake and Broil operations:

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 igniters 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.

■On some models, a clicking sound can be heard when the convection fan relay cycles on and off.
