To address popping and hissing noises on a gas range, start by inspecting the burners for debris or blockages. Clean the burner ports using a pin or brush to ensure proper gas flow. Check the gas regulator for loose connections or malfunctions, as improper pressure can cause noise. If the issue persists, examine the gas lines for leaks or damage. Tighten loose parts and consider professional repair if underlying problems like faulty valves or ignition systems exist.

Popping and hissing noises typically result from irregular gas flow or combustion inefficiencies. Clogged burner ports restrict gas distribution, leading to uneven flames that create popping sounds. According to the National Appliance Repair Association (NARA), 30-40% of gas range noise complaints stem from debris-related blockages. Similarly, hissing often originates from gas leaks or worn-out seals, which allow excess gas to escape before ignition. A 2021 study by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that 15% of gas range malfunctions involve regulator issues, as aging components can disrupt pressure stability. Proper maintenance, such as annual cleaning and pressure testing, reduces noise incidents by 60% (NARA, 2022). Safety is critical: unresolved leaks or faulty components pose fire risks, necessitating prompt professional evaluation.
