I have a new Maytag MGC7430 gas cooktop. At first it was fine, but after a few weeks when I was cooking I could smell gas above the burners. There is no smell of gas anywhere else, at any time -- just when the burner is actually lit. I thought I was imagining it but the problem is worsening and yesterday while boiling potatoes the smell filled the kitchen. Obviously we turned it off, disconnected, etc. but nobody can figure out what's happening. Any ideas?
First it could be leaking from the control knob when it is on . There could be a leak at the base off the burner letting out gas or on the burner line . You need to get back on to your installer or where you purchased the cook top . This basic gas fitting leak detection .

No adjustments. You will need the correct orifices. Contact maytag to get the correct ones. They should send them to you for free.

I would have someone come out. Perhaps a gas plumber first. Gas is not something you want to fool around with yourself.

I would say that pop was one of you igniters. either that or the stove is not installed correctly and when it gets warm, thermal expansion makes the metal pop. I would say that I would use caution and discontinue its use. Most problems with these need to fixed professionally.

OK, the best action is to call for service, if the unit was just installed, and purchased. This unit should be covered at this time, by the manufactures warranty, or store 30 day warranty. This repair should be free. The culprit will be a faulty spark ignition switch, and module. Testing is required. Once this switch, or(module), is replaced, the unit will operate correctly.
