Gas Oven making a whistling sound - 08/06/19 04:33 PM
I have this old model Kenmore gas stove/oven.
It's an old basic model, no convection or exhaust fans.
Yesterday, the oven started making a steady high pitch whistling sound. It started right when it makes its "whoosh" sound to preheat the oven.
It wouldn't stop whistling until a few seconds after I shut off the oven.
I was going around it and sniffing to see if it was leaking gas, which it wasn't.
I turned the oven on again and it'll start whistling after about 30-40 seconds when the burner lights up.
I opened the door and it's still whistling, so there's no door seal leak.
It's definitely coming from inside the oven, down below, where the burner and ignitor is.
Been researching but I'm finding complaints of other symptoms.
Other than the whistle, the oven works fine.
Heated up a pizza to 400 degree with no problem.
What's yall's input?
I don't smell gas, is it safe to continue using it like this?
