What GAS-SMELL Means
This means a gas odor — the distinct rotten-egg or sulfur smell added to propane and natural gas specifically so a leak is noticeable — is present near the unit.
Common Causes of GAS-SMELL
- A gas fitting or hose connection has developed a leak
- A valve isn't seating and sealing fully closed
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Turn off the gas supply at the tank or shutoff valve immediately, do not attempt to light the grill, and don't use it again until it's been checked.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Any gas-smell situation is a stop-and-call safety issue, not a troubleshooting opportunity.
- Locating a gas leak safely requires leak-detection solution or equipment, not smell alone.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
