I have an elder GE automatic pilot range/oven.
When I run the oven the igniter continues to continuously click at different times. Sometimes even appears a light smell of gas within the kitchen. (I know not good to use, but anyway)I don't know if it may be a simple issue that I may resolve, or if the manager needs to replace the appliance.
I own no mechanical familiarity about ovens/ranges and how they work... so I own not the slightest clue of how to handle this.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Answers:    From a plumber: Don't play beside gas, man. Request (strongly) the landlord enjoy it checked out.

Sounds like the thermal couple have failed. This gas, don't monkey beside it, get a Pro
