If you range leaking gas it could be dangerous. The real problem is that you can't even smell gas in a small volume. For your safety we have made this article to help you to find an issue of leaking gas in range Wolf d486g.
First of all - you can buy commercially prepared test solutions that perform consistently because they adhere to the pipes, valves and fittings better than the old soap-and-water solutions did. You can buy these solutions at most home centers and appliance parts stores. To use them, simply brush or spray them on the pipes, valves or fittings to be tested.
Use an electronic leak detector. Most electronic gas leak detectors are quite expensive, but there are such testers that cost under $40 as of the publication date and can be purchased at almost any appliance parts supplier. This type does not have the LCD readouts and all the bells and whistles that the professional instruments have, but it does give a visual and audio alarm when even a minute amount of gas is present. Many professional appliance technicians use these shirt-pocket-size testers on service calls. They are simple to use; just install two AAA batteries and push the button.
Where to check? Begin your testing for leaks with the flex pipe that connects your gas range and the cut-off valve on the black pipe. The flex pipe is prone to develop leaks as it ages, so coat the whole pipe carefully with the leak-detection fluid or run the electronic sniffer slowly over the pipe, and do not forget to check the cut-off valve itself. Check all the individual control valves for the top burners, oven and broiler. Check the oven/broiler's thermostatically controlled valve and all the internal pipe connections. Also check all the pilot light connections if your range has the older pilot light systems.
