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.
