Hi.
There is no such a thing as "normal " gas leak. Try to locate the area where it comes from so you can show it to the gas co. man.

Simon, i read a thread in here saying if buying the element does not fix the stove i might need to replace two circuits and/or fuses? if so where are these located? i see you have them in stock i think

Hi. There are four parts involved in the heating process. There are not cheap and require some skills. If you would like to do the troubleshooting and you have a multimeter please let me know. If you just wish to replace them one by one - they are: -hi-limit cut out, oven thermostat, selector switch, hot wire relay. Start with hi-limit located behind the kick panel Part number: WB21X5359
It's #540 on the diagram. To check it you may install temporary jumper to bypass it. Are you sure that the element was bad? Post the results. Simon.

Hi.
First check the limit thermostat, then - hot wire relay.
