You hear a hissing sound from your gas range, which could indicate normal operation or a potential gas issue.
Quick Fixes to Try First

- 2Ensure burner ports aren't clogged, causing incomplete combustion
- 3Turn off all burners and listen for hissing (if present, potential leak)
- 4Check that all burner knobs are in the off position
Most Common Causes
Normal Gas Flow
Requires Service
A slight hissing when burners are on is normal gas flow through the valve.
Burner Not Fully Lit
DIY Possible
If gas is flowing but not completely igniting, you may hear hissing with an incomplete flame.
Other Possible Causes
Gas Leak
Hissing when burners are off could indicate a gas leak that requires immediate attention.
Regulator Issues
A failing gas regulator may create unusual sounds during operation.
